Oregon’s Dana Altman shuts down retirement rumors ahead of Pac-12 tournament

Dana Altman might not be going anywhere anytime soon.

The Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team is the 4-seed in the Pac-12 Conference tournament. If the Ducks string together a win or two, they could get a bid into the NCAA Tournament.

Amidst all of that, there have been some puzzling rumors swirling about head coach Dana Altman potentially retiring. However, Altman discussed that chatter, per Miles Dwyer of Ducks Wire:

“I have no idea who said that. I’m not sure who said it; I know I didn’t. I have talked to nobody. Whoever is saying that is pure speculation. I’m not going anywhere — unless the school tells me I’m not here — but no, I’m not retiring that’s for sure.”

Altman has been there for 13 seasons, but the Ducks might miss out on the Big Dance once again, which isn’t what fans were hoping for. All in all, it would be a huge surprise if he retires or goes elsewhere.
