The University of Oregon men’s basketball team announced the hiring of three assistants to its staff on Monday night. Mike Mennenga, Robert McCullum and Allen Morill will add a vast amount of experience to Dana Altman’s bench.
“We feel really good about these individuals,” Altman told GoDucks.com. “The experience and basketball knowledge that they will add to our staff is outstanding, but also I think they will relate really well with the players and help us build our program.”
Altman lost his longtime assistant coach Brian Fish this offseason. Fish accepted the vacant head coaching position at Montana State.
Mennaga, who’ll replace Fish, comes to Oregon after serving as an assistant coach at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York. Mennega has almost 20 years of experience coaching basketball.
McCullum, a former head coach at Western Michigan and South Florida, will be the assistant director of operations for the Ducks. He’s also been an assistant at a variety of other schools.
A former Pac-12 player at Arizona State from 2003-2006, Morill will become an assistant conditioning coach for Oregon. After playing for the Sun Devils, Morill worked as the director of player development at North Texas before joining the Ducks’ staff.
