John Canzano's annual list of the most influential people in Oregon sports was released this morning. Scott Rueck comes in at #18 (up from #20 in '17) on the 2018 list.
Other 2018 notables on the list include:
#25 Wayne Tinkle
#19 Kelly Graves
#16 Sabrina Ionescu
#14 Pat Casey (I guess one has to lead his team to more than three national titles to rate higher. He dropped from #12.)
#11 Scott Barnes
#8 Jonathan Smith

No. 18: Scott Rueck
Last year: No. 20
The 49-year old Oregon State women’s basketball coach has a Final Four, Sweet 16 and Elite Eight appearance in his last three seasons. He’s won three of the last four conference championships and is a great recruiter. Maryland transfer Destiny Slocum is the next star player in for Oregon State. Two seasons ago Rueck’s team drew 9,604 to a home basketball game at Gill Coliseum. That’s big-time in-state clout.
