Our YP Hustle this month is on April 24th with UO Women’s Basketball coach Kelly Graves. Kelly will join us to speak on winning on and off the court. He will touch on teamwork and growing and building on your leadership skills.

Kelly Graves is in his fifth season at the helm of the Oregon women’s basketball program. He was named the seventh head coach in program history on April 7, 2014. Graves signed a contract extension with the Ducks on April 6, 2017 which will keep him in Eugene through the 2022-23 campaign.

Prior to the Ducks’ incredible 2018-19 season, 2016-17 was considered the best year in program history. Oregon not only reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005, but Graves and the No. 11 seed Ducks shocked the college basketball world by reaching the program’s first ever Sweet 16 and Elite Eight.

This year, Oregon earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, hosted games in Eugene for the first time since 2000, and reached the Elite Eight for a second straight season before falling to eventual national champion and No. 1 seed Notre Dame in the Spokane regional final.

Graves and his wife Mary have three sons – Max (1995) Jackson (1997) and Will (2000). Max graduated from UO in 2017 and is now a high school teacher in Arizona. Jack is an assistant coach with the Lane CC women’s basketball team and Will graduated from South Eugene HS in 2018 and is a freshman on the Lane CC men’s basketball team.
