Dana Altman Biography

Dana Altman is recognized as one of the most accomplished men's basketball coaches in NCAA history, having built a significant legacy across nearly four decades at the Division I level. Over 37 seasons as a Division I head coach, Altman compiled a 792-425 record, ranking among the top 15 in NCAA history for career victories. He previously served as head coach at Creighton, Kansas State, and Marshall before arriving in Eugene, where he achieved his greatest successes. At Creighton, Altman led the Bluejays to seven NCAA Tournaments, three Missouri Valley Conference regular-season titles, and 11 consecutive 20-win seasons. He was named Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year twice.

Altman is the winningest coach in Oregon men's basketball history, retiring after 16 seasons with the Ducks and nearly 40 years at the Division I level. As the 19th head coach in the history of the University of Oregon men's basketball program, he led Oregon to five consecutive NCAA Tournaments from 2013 to 2017, marking a first in school history. His nine NCAA appearances at Oregon included a Final Four, two Elite Eights, and five Sweet 16s. The 2016-17 team set a school record with 33 wins and reached the Final Four for the first time since 1939. Altman also secured four Pac-12 regular-season championships and four Pac-12 tournament titles.

Altman is one of four coaches to have been named Coach of the Year in four different conferences, joining Rick Pitino, Kelvin Sampson, and Herb Sendek. His individual honors include the National Jim Phelan Coach of the Year Award and three Pac-12 Coach of the Year distinctions. Altman achieved 27 seasons with 20 or more wins—11 at Creighton, 15 at Oregon, and one at Kansas State. He has been inducted into both the Creighton Athletic Hall of Fame and the Eastern New Mexico Athletic Hall of Fame.

Altman's coaching career is marked by the development of NBA-caliber talent. His players have earned major honors, including Payton Pritchard, who became Oregon's first consensus first-team All-American in 80 years. Chris Duarte was selected 13th overall in the NBA Draft, the highest pick during Altman's tenure, while other Oregon players who reached the NBA under Altman include Dillon Brooks, Jordan Bell, Tyler Dorsey, and N'Faly Dante. At Creighton, his athletes earned three All-American honors on the court and three Academic All-America distinctions, with players such as Kyle Korver, Rodney Buford, and Anthony Tolliver advancing to the NBA.

Altman retired as Oregon Ducks men's basketball coach with a 382-182 record at the University of Oregon. In his retirement statement, Altman reflected on his career decisions and his passion for coaching, which spanned nearly five decades.
