(Corvallis, OR) -- Oregon State University men's basketball coach Wayne Tinkle is leaving. Athletic Director Scott Barnes says that with the new Pac-12 era starting this fall, it was time for a change. Tinkle's teams made two N-C-Double-A Tournament appearances and in 2021 won the Pac-12 Tournament championship and made it to the Elite Eight for the second time in school history. Tinkle had six winning seasons over 12 years. The Beavers are 16 and 14 this year, with a 9 and 8 record in the WCC. A search is underway for a new head coach.
