Quack Fix: Altman introduced as head coach, looks to change the basketball culture in Eugene

PrintYou might wanna pace yourselves this morning, don't wanna overdose on all the quack:
- The Ducks introduced Dana Altman as their new baketball coach yesterday inside of an unfinished Matt Court. Despite all the criticisms of the coaching search, the press conference went very well. Altman has the character that the University was looking for, and also the coaching pedigree. Altman will earn $1.8 million in base salary with performance and academic bonuses available. What came through in the press conference, is that Altman has as strong vision for the program (one which matches President Lariviere's). Only time will tell if he'll be able to achieve that vision, though for now, it seems like Altman is a good fit (which is also the subject of George Schroeder's column).
- A lot of ground was covered in the press conference. The subject of the postseason came up, and Altman would make no promises, but only say that his teams would compete and see what happened. If the Ducks are simply competitive next year, that's just fine with me. The subject of a foreign tour came up, and Altman is open to the idea after the players were in unanimous favor of such a trip. Altman also talked a bit about Kenny Payne, and seemed very open to the idea of Payne being part of his coaching staff, but said he would decide withing the next two weeks the exact coaching staff. The full press conference can be seen here.
- Another big topic over the coming weeks will be how the players take to Altman. Just like the coaching staff didn't panic, Altman won't either, and not just hand out scholarships to those that don't fit the program goals of the next few years. He also stated that there are "nine players that want to be here." It sounds like his words are ringing true with the players, which is where he must start, so he can have an opportunity to prove those words with actions.
- Pat Kilkenny had some interesting comments after the Altman press conference. He said that Oregon talked to 5 coaches that had won national championships and that 3 said they would take the job, but ended up not receiving an offer (two of these coaches were nixed by Lariviere). Kilkenny talked a lot about finding a coach that was the right fit for Oregon, and how it ended up being Altman that fit that bill. He also didn't seem too thrilled with the constant name-dropping by the media, which was likely not accurate at all, and also had some important things to say about the current recruiting cycle and how that did not drive the search. It seems like Kilkenny stuck to his guns and kept working hard and finding a good coach for the program, despite pressure from fans and media (and maybe even Nike).
- Switching gears a bit, we're less away from some football, and thanks to Chip Kelly's continual innovation, our spring game should be one of the most exciting in the nation. Instead of just taking the first team and having them compete against the second team, the Oregon coaches held a "draft" over the weekend, and the coaching staff picked the Green and White teams. Thomas, LMJ and Barner, are holding down the Green team backfield, but won't have the first string offensive line in its entirety. Sounds like the coaching staff and players are really getting into it, so we should be in for a real competitive game. The teams have already practicing together this week, and the White team won yesterday's practice, 116-114.
- One of the fun things about spring ball is seeing who will step up and compete for playing time, and sophomore LB Michael Clay has been on fire. He's been able to grasp the game, and will see significant time this fall after earning playing time as a true freshman. Another player that has made an impression is walk-on receiver Justin Hoffman. His selflessness during practice has helped him work his was up the depth chart, and he's now in the two-deep. With the departure of Garrett Embry and Jamere Holland, receiver depth is a bit of a question, and Hoffman is making the most of his opportunities.
- A non-conference Civil War takes place tonight at PK Park at 6pm. But the roles are reversed from what you'd expect. Oregon is ranked and OSU is not and the Ducks have been winning series while the Beavers lose them. But you can throw all that out the window. The Ducks won't take anything for granted, as even though this game is non-conference, it could significantly impact both teams postseason hopes.
There's likely plenty more out there, so if you've got anything else to discuss, leave it below. GO DUCKS!

Some of the behavior isnt very good though
I saw it in other blogs too, one example was a Bedger wrote a post on the Thunder site (not very many people there, too bad) about how Nick Collison should have been suspended after a hard foul he had. Thats really whiny and annoying to me in general but especially on another teams site.

Oh true, there are douchebags in every community, and when you’re not a fan of a team and you go to their site, you need to try and be as respectful as possible to the way they do things (fans of a same team will let a lot more go with each other then opposing fans).
Needless to say though, calling out Blazersedge and Blazer fans in general is probably not a smart move, because not only are you going to get the general crazy person, but the hoards will follow. Now’s he’s dealing with the mess he created and bitching about their attitude. I can’t leave syrup trails in my house and then get mad at the ants for swarming on them.

He's a physical freak and an athlete
I don’t yet know if he’s a quarterback.
by Brian Floyd on Apr 27, 2010 12:47 PM PDT up reply actions
He's certainly a quarterback.
Can he lead his team to a winning season? That’s what remains to be seen. Amazing athlete, a strong arm, excellent speed… but can he win?
Addicted To Quack [dot] com
I have a Ropert is God™ complex.
Sure, he's got a strong arm, too
He was just learning how to actually read coverages and take snaps, working on throwing a better deep ball (he wasn’t able to do so most of his career), and was getting the fundamentals of a real offense down. That’s all I’m saying. He was a work in progress and still needs to continue to progress.
As do most players.
Though the jury is out, Locker is and always has been a scary player to defend. Is he a good quarterback? Yes. Is he good enough to actually turn the program around after being a four-year starter? Hmm.
Addicted To Quack [dot] com
I have a Ropert is God™ complex.
He was a good QB last season
He was an injured QB the season before and a good H-Back the one before that. I’d like to see if he can sustain his success this year. Will he be a good QB at the next level? That depends on him being able to read defenses and make all the throws. His running is nice, but the speed in the NFL negates a ton of this.
We agree then.
I just want to throw the guy credit, because everyone else loves to rag on him.

Instead of just taking the first team and having them compete against the second team, the Oregon coaches held a “draft” over the weekend, and the coaching staff picked the Green and White teams.
Is that not the way most teams do it?

I’d never heard of it before this. Many times first and second teams just square off, or have the first team offense play the first team defense, and the second team offense play the second team defense.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
yeah that’s the way I’ve always seen it, 1st team vs 1st team and 2nd team vs 2nd team. Although, I think with the talent depth we have, a true 1st vs 1st team might be tough to put together. Is Barner 1st or 2nd team?

I’m fairly certain UO’s been doing this for the last several years. Most other teams don’t. Some (coughcoughFUSKIEScoughcough) believe it’s better to put your first string offense against a scout team defense to get a good self esteem boost in lieu of actual useful experience. Since the Seattle media can’t tell the difference, it’s also a good way to get husky honks predicting a Rose Bowl berth following an 0-12 season.
just wait for the game to be over
who ever has more points is the scout team.

Listening to Softy
and other Fuskies drool over Locker is the absolute worst part about living in Seattle.
My 14 months in Seattle I actually found Softy tolerable. Of course the talk back then was Willingham and the Sonics fiasco. The guy understands what his myopic listeners want to hear and serves it up like a big plate of sloppy joes. In big city radio that’s exactly what you’re supposed to do. Few have the balls to step outside the skewed perspective of local fans.
The guy I really disliked was Ian Furness, who took every opportunity to directly bash Duck fans and the city of Eugene. “You want poor sportsmanship folks? You don’t have to go any further than Eugene…”, or something to that effect.

However, he will never be Ryan Leaf status in my eyes. He never freaked out at reporters and teammates like Leaf did.
I am obviously not arguing that Russell was a good QB, he was never intrinsically motivated or hard working, but he was set up to fail. He only had about a thousand different coaches and a crazy owner bent on not improving the O-line.

Two in two days. Not bad.

You know how I feel about Polee
I also know quite a bit about Loyd. He’s good, but he’s also been trying to generate hype about himself by faking offers.
Now we just need Mr. Jones to answer the phone and come on down to Eugene. This kind of buzz though definitely helps the cause this late in the game.
Most inexplicably NOT Clark Kellogg?

Polee's a good get
And I think Altman will seal that. I’m not sold on Loyd at all right now. At least Jones can unofficial to Oregon because it’s so close, but he’s announcing Friday. That is unless he pushes it back for the millionth time.
I tell you what, if Altman seals that deal, I’ll go from riding the fence to full fledged myopic in about a nano-second, without ever watching a game.
Most inexplicably NOT Clark Kellogg?

Yeah, he seems to have a lot of “offers” to his name. But I will say this, Altman has been there pretty much all along the way.
Most inexplicably NOT Clark Kellogg?
Addicted to Quack
I'm not buying the other offers to him outside of Northwestern, UNLV, and GW
Altman has been on him for a while. The way he “exploded” via a LV newspaper article raised my eyes. In it, he said he had 20 offers in about 2 weeks, including from MSU, Florida, WSU, Oklahoma, and more. Raised my BS meter to the red zone.
He’s 5’8ish and quick. He also plays football. He’s a pass first PG who’s been on winning teams for a while.
yeah, apparently he “blew up” at some Beach Ball Classic (according to ESPN) but has been off the radar due to his size (listed 5’9" 170). I’d like to have another pass happy PG in the system. Especially a frosh who can sit behind Armstead and learn Altman’s system well
Most inexplicably NOT Clark Kellogg?

Dude, I’m telling you. He’s legit and then some. He needs to work on his mid range shot (from what I have seen) but his athleticism if off the charts and he can handle the ball for a 6’7" small forward. Talk about a perfect fit for a high low offense
