The right rotations at the right times, making the right pass and consistent shot selection are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a team’s success.
Coaching matters. A lot. Both Oregon men’s head coach Dana Altman and women’s head coach Kelly Graves have finalized their staff for the 2025-26 season. Here’s a look at the assistant coaches, adding a helping hand in the teams’ successes.
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
JODIE BERRY
Entering her 12th season with Graves’ program, Berry has seen both the highs and lows the last decade of Oregon hoops has had to offer. One of Graves’ most-trusted consultants, Berry also worked with Graves at Gonzaga for 11 seasons.
JERISE FREEMAN
Hired in June 2024, Freeman is an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator who holds nearly a decade of experience at the Power 5 level.
TRE SIMMONS
One of the more recognizable faces on the Ducks’ bench, Simmons is entering his third year with the Ducks in 25-26. A former 16 PPG scorer at the University of Washington, Simmons had a 14-year career overseas and has since settled in alongside Graves on the Oregon bench.
PEYTON SCOTT
Though not a coach, Scott serves as the Coordinator of Player Engagement and Operations, while being one of the more vocal people in the Ducks’ stratosphere. A two-year player at Oregon (one of which she missed the entirety of
due to injury), Scott doubled as another coaching voice on the court.
“Peyton was like an extra coach on the bench for us during the season she missed,” Graves said to GoDucks. “She
was such an asset to us despite not being on the floor with the way she communicated with the players and helped mentor them with her wealth of knowledge and experience. She’s so respected among our program, we can’t wait to see what she can do this year and moving forward.”
MEN’S BASKETBALL
TONY STUBBLEFIELD
The most notable assistant within Altman’s program, Stubblefield has been a coach for over three decades at many stops. With multiple stints as Altman’s right-hand man, separated by a three-year stint as head coach at DePaul University, Stubblefield also has a massive hand in player development and recruiting.
MIKE MENNENGA
A long-time voice on the Ducks’ bench, Mennenga has coached at Oregon for 12 seasons. Per GoDucks, his primary role is “player development and player recruitment, assisting with game preparation and in-game adjustments.”
BRIAN FISH
Fish has worked with Altman on four different coaching staffs, including two stints apiece at both Creighton and Oregon.
YASIR ROSEMOND
A new addition to Altman’s staff, Rosemond played two years at Oregon and previously coached at Indiana University.
