Quote:Stubblefield Hired at Oregon

In what might have been a move that’s been in the works for about a week but now DuckTerritory.com has learned that Oregon head coach Dana Altman has hired Tony Stubblefield from the University of Cincinnati to fill the final coaching spot on the men’s basketball program.

Stubblefield comes from UC where he coached the last four years as one of the Bearcats top recruiting coaches and has been an assistant coach for 16 seasons overall.

Before his four year stint at UC Stubblefield served as an assistant at New Mexico State and prior to the 2004-05 season Stubblefield was elevated to interim head coach and fulfilled all aspects of the program of a normal head coach.

Before New Mexico State Stubblefield was lead assistant recruiting coordinator at University of Texas-Arlington for four seasons. Stubblefield started his coaching career at his alma mater of University of Nebraska at Omaha as a student assistant after graduating in 1995.

Stubblefield has worked with guards in his previous stops and has regularly been a school’s top recruiter as he’s been considered a good recruiter.

The addition to the staff should fill out Oregon’s coaching roster unless Altman decides to fill recently hired and departed Michael Lee as Assistant Director of Basketball Operations.

So who do they hire in his place? Obviously a recruiter is needed.

What about the guy who was fired at Indiana? McCleowd? Wasn't he supposed to be some kind of a great recruiter at least?

Did Darren Savino ever find a job after Rutgers?

Maybe he can finally join the coaching staff.

If it wasn't for Stubblefield...we would have never landed Lance or Gates.

Thanks. Had no idea, although landing those two guys hasn't gotten UC anywhere at all.

Marcus...agree...but I would say, especially in basketball, that you usually have 1-2 lead recruiters who's job it is to "get the player" and beat other schools at the point of sale. The fact Stubblefield led the recruiting of Lance and Gates...easily the 2 highest ranked recruits of the Cronin era...should point out that he has the ability to win recruits who are highly sought after. The fact Gates hasn't been devleoped and that we missed the chance to maximize Lance's impact on the team during his 1 year.....reflect more on the Head Coach and player development strategies than Stubblefield. With Stubblefield gone, the question is can Larry Davis and George Jackson "get" Top 40 talent...unless you believe Cronin will replace TS with some big time experienced (recruiter). We'll see what Cronin does...if he promotes from within or brings in an inexperience person, this smells like someone who's pretty well respected jumping ship before the inevitable happens at the end of next year.

Whoever was responsible for developing the shooting guards has been a miserable failure.
