CORVALLIS - Calling an ongoing five-win season "a blip in the radar screen" Tuesday, Oregon State athletic director Scott Barnes affirmed his confidence in men's basketball coach Wayne Tinkle.
"He's a wonderful coach and I love how he connects with the student athlete," Barnes told The Oregonian/OregonLive. "You look at the anomaly that is this year and why. There are all sorts of pieces to that. But I have great confidence in Wayne. I think he's going to have a superb tenure here and already has."
Oregon State (5-25, 1-16 Pac-12) will conclude the regular season Saturday against No.
