The Oregon Ducks success over the last few seasons has led to the departure of players to the next level and a former Oregon Assistant Coach is following in their footsteps.

Robert McCullum has been the Assistant Director of Operations for Oregon Basketball for the last three seasons under Head Coach Dana Altman. According to the Oregonian, McCullum is leaving the Ducks to become Head Coach at Florida A&M and was introduced on Tuesday.

McCullum was also the only Coach on Altman’s Staff the last three seasons with Final Four Experience. He was with the Florida Gators for their Final Four run in 1994.

This will be the third Head Coaching stop for McCullum. He previously led Western Michigan and also spent time at South Florida. Overall his record is 84-21. Of the moves made this offseason, the loss of McCullum is the one that hurts the least for the program. It is a total off the court move and well deserved.
