In the past few weeks, multiple national news outlets have suggested that Oregon Ducks head coach Dana Altman’s retirement could be looming after the 2023-24 season. After practice on Tuesday, Altman squashed those rumors.
“I have no idea who said that,” Altman said about the supposed retirement buzz. “I’m not sure who said it; I know I didn’t. I have talked to nobody. Whoever is saying that is pure speculation. I’m not going anywhere — unless the school tells me I’m not here — but no, I’m not retiring that’s for sure.”
Altman has coached at Oregon for the last 13 seasons, including this one. Before coming to Eugene he was the head coach at Creighton for 15 years, with 4 years at Kansas State before that.
Altman has come under some fire this season since the Ducks are likely to miss the NCAA tournament in 2024 for the third consecutive year. The season began strong for Oregon, but the Ducks haven’t been able to sustain consistent enough shooting or defense to win the key games.
Despite the recent struggles though, there is no inclination that Oregon is close to moving on from Altman. When things are all said and done, Altman will be a Hall of Fame coach, and he’s made such an impact for the Ducks during his time at Oregon.
