Oregon coach Dana Altman blew off months worth of steam Tuesday after the Ducks' season-ending loss to Wisconsin in the NIT, calling out fan support of the program and questioning the backing the program has received from the administration. Oregon's 61-58 home loss to the Badgers in the NIT quarterfinals was sparsely attended, with a reported 3,300 in attendance, which set him off on a rant.

"That goes into the evaluation," Altman said when asked if there were enough people. "What are we not giving our players? What are we not doing as a staff? If that means more people, then I'll go to (Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens) and beg. ... You see the commitment Wisconsin makes; they have their cheerleaders, their band. We make a commitment; don't get me wrong here. But you can see how important it is. It was important to them. It was important to me. 

"What the heck, we should've had more people here tonight," he continued. "These guys play hard, OK? 3,300 people, it's not good enough. If it's me, then get rid of me. If you need somebody else to be a promoter, do something. But 3,300 people is embarrassing. It really is. I'm not in a very good mood, you can tell that. If it's me, then make the change. Make the change. Somebody will hire me somewhere. I'll go coach junior college ball. But 3,300 people? For Wisconsin? I was disappointed."
