The Oregon Ducks are adding a new member to the coaching staff ahead of the 2023-24 season, announcing the hiring of Tre Simmons on Tuesday afternoon.
Simmons is a former Washington standout and a 14-year professional player overseas. For the Huskies, Simmons was an All-Pac-10 First Team selection in 2004-05.
“Throughout his entire collegiate and professional career, Tre has exemplified leadership,” head coach Kelly Graves said, via a press release from the university. “His energy and passion are contagious, and our team will love being around him. Tre has an innate ability to connect with people. That, in addition to his deep knowledge and love for the game, make him a tremendous coach and an ideal fit for our program.”
The hiring comes after Oregon saw assistant coach Sadie Edwards depart to take a spot on the Baylor Bears coaching staff last week.
