Dana Altman has cancelled Oregon's tour to Italy and thinks it would be better to put it off 'til next year...

This creates a little dilemma....they have already taken FIVE of their allowed pre-tour practices...
...so if they cancel their tour, then those practices effecively now amount to ILLEGAL summer practices,
and they might get some NCAA penalty..
I can't imagine NCAA will deal harshly with them....... but you can bet..
if it had been Bradley - the NCAA would have made every player on the team ineligible for at least FIVE games...

or they could just say next year they will not be able to practice prior to traveling.
 
but isn't that exactly what every other team already has...no practices 'til Oct. 15...
surely they'd allow practices while on the tour...
in the meantime they come out ahead with early practices this year...

For the 5 weeks prior to Oct. 15, teams can practice for two hours each week. The NCAA could always take that away from them.
 
I'm wondering if Altman's style of play is making the players leave. A lot of players want to get consistent play but Altman loves to play virtually his whole roster in a game lol.

some really weird stuff happening at Oregon...now some talk that the cancellation of the exhibition tour to Italy last summer somehow ties in with what happening now -- players who dealt with agents or received money from them last summer - and one of them, Dunigan, already signing a pro contract to play in Europe.
But Dunigan didn't leave until it was made apparent that an investigation was going to find he is ineligible to stay in school due to professionalism...

BTW -- Dana surely will drop on this list......

here's an article on which new coaches inherit the BEST and the WORST situaitons...
Oliver Purnell at DePaul gets listed as inheriting the WORST, Dana is close..

the hits keep coming for Dana Altman -- although earning $2 mil per year softens some of the blows...

Oregon appears to have a lot of academic issues and departing players and the fear is their APR will slide and they'll lose scholarships.....

I never thought if all the players he inherited came back he would win much. Now he has an excuse and can start recruiting his type of players. In the long run it maybe a blessing as long as Oregon does not get penalized. I have a feeling all that Nike money may buy them goodwill.
 
Dana is once again proving his abilities as a coach. He is now 7-7 in the Pac-10 with a depleted roster. I think the folks in Eugene are pretty happy with the hire.
 
The Pac-10 has maybe two or three good teams and everyone else is struggling...so the pac-10 is ripe for a few of the lower teams to get hot and beat the guys at the top...

Dana did inherit a few solid players in Singler, Catron, Armstead, and Stowbridge......with Stowbridge being a transfer who was given immediate eligibilty....

Next few years should be better as Dana does have some good players coming in...

BUT -- here's where I think Dana might struggle.....remember a guy named P'Allen Stinnett??
The more you recruit the top talent and the more you go out and land the guys who have been told all their lives that they are superstars.....then the more you are going to have to deal with enormous egos and lust for playing time and desire to be the team's star...
and Dana has yet to show he's able to handle that......so time will tell.......
He's building his team around guys transferring in, such as multiply suspended and troubled Devoe Joseph from Minnesota...
