Today's episode of Locked On Ducks features a very special guest--new Oregon Assistant Basketball Coach Chuck Martin. He comes over from South Carolina to fill the void left by Chris Crutchfield, who left to be the head coach at Omaha. He joins Dana Altman's staff as a coaching newcomer amongst several new faces who will join the Ducks for the 2022-23 college basketball season, alongside transfer players and talented incoming freshmen.

A veteran coach in the college basketball realm, Chuck Martin has been all over the country on staffs and was one of Derrick Rose's college coaches while at Memphis. He talks about what drew him to Oregon, most notably the respect that the program has accumulated under head coach Dana Altman. Coach Martin shares why Altman is such a respected basketball mind and why he felt working under the Ducks' head coach was the best decision for his career

Oregon Basketball's roster has become clear for the 2022-23 campaign, and Coach Martin is excited to have key returners like Will Richardson and Quincy Guerrier as he looks to help guide the Ducks back to the NCAA Tournament. The conversation concludes with Coach Martin discussing what it's like to be an assistant college basketball coach in 2022. From recruiting to the transfer portal, he shares phenomenal insights into the ever-evolving world of college athletics and what it's like to coach in it. Plus, his favorite part (so far) about the state of Oregon.
