EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon men's basketball coach Dana Altman is sitting on the cusp of history.
Entering the Ducks game against Alabama State in Matthew Knight Arena on Friday (8 p.m. Pac-12 Network), Altman is sitting at 599 career head coaching wins. Only 33 other coaches, including nine active coaches, have reached this milestone at the Division I level, placing Altman among the greats.
Despite being poised to cross such a distinguished threshold, Altman – as is his nature – is making every effort to deflect attention away from himself and back to his teams.
