Dana Altman is a college basketball coach who is the head coach of the Oregon Ducks men's team. Previously, he was head coach at Creighton, Kansas State and Marshall. Altman has won conference coach of the year awards at each school he has coached, and has led his teams to 15 appearances in the NCAA tournament. He is one of only three active coaches in NCAA Division I with 26 consecutive winning seasons.

Altman became the 24th head coach to record 700 career wins at the Division I level in 2021-22 and is the winningest head coach in Oregon history. In 2016-17, Altman led Oregon back to the Final Four for the first time in 78 years and coached the Ducks to consecutive Pac-12 titles in 2020 and 2021.

The 2013 National Coach of the Year and three-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year, Altman is 321-140 in Eugene, and 731-383 in 34 seasons as a head coach at the NCAA Division I level in stints at Oregon, Creighton, Kansas State and Marshall.

Altman, the 19th head coach in the history of the University of Oregon men’s basketball program, has led the Ducks to five straight NCAA Tournaments (2013-17) for the first time in school history, winning at least one game in each of those years. Included in those NCAA appearances are a Final Four (2017), two Elite Eights (2016, 2017) and three Sweet 16s (2013, 2016, 2017). The Ducks made their fourth Sweet 16 appearance under Altman in 2019 and were named the Pac-12’s automatic qualifier for the 2020 NCAA Tournament before the worldwide coronavirus epidemic canceled the postseason. The Ducks’ fifth Sweet Sixteen appearance under Altman came in 2021. Altman now has 25 seasons of 20-plus wins to his credit (11 at Creighton, 13 at Oregon, one at Kansas State).

Altman arrived at Oregon after spending 16 seasons at Creighton where he became the school’s all-time winningest coach with a record of 327-176 (.650). He led the Blue Jays to 13 consecutive postseason appearances, a stretch of 11 straight seasons with 20-plus wins, all while producing 10 or more league victories in each of the last 14 seasons. Those three feats were unmatched in the 103 years of the Missouri Valley Conference.
