Lake Oswego appoints North Marion's Tully Wagner as new boys basketball coach

Lake Oswego High School has appointed Tully Wagner as the new head coach for its boys’ basketball team, bringing with him a wealth of experience from coaching at North Marion, a nearby 4A school.

Wagner, who spent a decade as the head coach of the Huskies, boasts an impressive career record of 154-84. Under his leadership, North Marion secured a second-place finish in the 2015 season and fourth place in 2019.

In his new role, Wagner will be tasked with revitalizing a Lake Oswego squad that is in desperate need of a rebuild. The Lakers had a challenging season in 2023-24, finishing 3-20 while placing fifth in the Three Rivers League under interim head coach Mark Swenson.

Swenson took over after Marshall Cho’s departure at the end of the 2022-23 season, which concluded an eventful eight-year tenure at Lake Oswego for Cho.

Before his time at North Marion, Wagner served as an assistant coach at NCAA Division III Immaculata University in Pennsylvania.
