Altman’s Ducks were projected to finish in the middle of the Pac-12 race but became one of the storylines of the Pac-12 season, jumping out to a 7-0 start to conference play before Dominic Artis went down. Oregon finished second in the conference and earned a first-round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament.

It’s the fifth different conference Coach of the Year award for Altman, who has been recognized in four conferences.

E.J. Singler was also named First Team All-Pac-12, Damyean Dotson was on the Pac-12 All-Freshmen Team and Arsalan Kazemi was named to the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team.
