NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/24/2010 - Eugene, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Creighton coach Dana Altman is reportedly set to become the next head coach at the University of Oregon.

The Oregonian newspaper reports Altman met with school athletic director Pat Kilkenny in Indianapolis and agreed to become the next head coach of the Ducks. The paper reported Altman will be in Eugene Sunday night to meet the team and an official announcement will come Monday after contract details are worked out.

The 51-year-old Altman has compiled a 327-176 record in 16 seasons for the Bluejays. They went 18-16 last season, losing to Missouri State in the semifinal round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.

Before the 2009-10 season, Altman led Creighton to 11 straight seasons of 20 or more wins. They have been to postseason play 13 consecutive years.

Prior to his stay at Creighton, Altman coached at Kansas State for four seasons (1990-94) and at Marshall (1989-90). His career record is 409-243.

The Ducks need a replacement for Ernie Kent, whose contract was terminated last month. Kent guided the program for 13 years. The Ducks finished 16-16 overall and 7-11 in the Pac-10. Kent was the longest tenured coach in the Pac-10 Conference and is the school's all-time wins leader.
