After losing his assistant coach Chris Crutchfield following the end of the 2021-22 season, Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks have reportedly made a new coaching hire, bringing in Chuck Martin, who was formerly the assistant coach with South Carolina.
Martin spent five years with the Gamecocks and has been coaching at the D1 level for over 20 years, with stops at Indiana, Marish, Memphis, and Kentucky.
One interesting thing to note is that Martin is coming off of a season where he coached Devin Carter, a former 4-star guard who has since entered the transfer portal and included the Oregon Ducks in his top-5 schools to potentially end up at.

Whether or not that means that Carter will choose Oregon, we can’t say for sure, but it certainly doesn’t hurt the Ducks’ case in potentially landing the transfer.
