Oregon State has named Doug Stewart its Interim Head Coach.
Stewart had been an assistant under former coach Craig Robinson, who was let go earlier this month.

Stewart has been at Oregon State for six years. Prior to that , he was an assistant at Brown and before that was the head coach at Casper College, a Division I Junior College in Casper, Wyo.
He has also been an assistant at Columbia University and Washington and Lee University and was a player/coach and organizational representative for the Washington Generals from 1994-1999.
Stewart was a four-year letter-winner and team captain at Brown, graduating in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in economics.
A native of Haddonfield, N.J., he was inducted into the Haddonfield Memorial High School Hall of Fame in 2009.
Stewart and his wife, Lindsay, have three sons, Sullivan, Griffin and Macklin.
