"We are grateful to Wayne for his dedication to Oregon State and for the leadership he has provided our men's basketball program. He has represented Beaver Nation with integrity and commitment. As we approach the dawn of the new Pac-12 era, we believe it is in the best interest of our men's basketball program to transition to its next chapter."
"Tinkle was at the helm for 12 seasons, highlighted by Oregon State's run to the Elite Eight in 2021. The Beavers finished the regular season with a 14-12 record, but won the Pac-12 tournament and upset Tennessee, Oklahoma State and Loyola Chicago on the way to the regional final as a 12-seed."
Wayne Tinkle's tenure as Oregon State men's basketball coach ends after 12 seasons. Athletic Director Scott Barnes announced the decision, stating the transition aligns with the program's positioning for sustained success in the new Pac-12 era. Tinkle compiled a 176-204 record and led the Beavers to two NCAA tournament appearances, most notably a 2021 Elite Eight run as a 12-seed following a Pac-12 tournament championship. The school has asked Tinkle to finish the current season, pending his decision. Oregon State returns to full Pac-12 competition next season after two years in the West Coast Conference.
