Tonight Dana Altman, technically a former Arkansas Razorbacks coach, leads his Oregon Ducks against North Carolina in the Final Four. Altman’s one-day-long fiasco at Arkansas back in 2007 is well known by now. But the Oregon head coach has put that awkward chapter behind him, going on to rack up the last 187 wins in his program’s history. The next one, if it comes against a Tar Heels squad favored by 4.5 points, would be his most impressive yet.
Less well known is that the Ducks’ first ever-win was notched by another former Arkansas coach.
