Jonas Chatterton completed his ninth season with the Beavers in 2022-23, and his 19th year as a Division I assistant.
Chatterton’s first nine seasons with the Beavers proved to be some of the best years in school history. Chatterton has coached Oregon State to six 20+ win seasons, including three-straight Pac-12 regular season titles (2015-17), and the five highest win totals in program history. He helped pace the team to its fourth-straight Sweet 16 in 2018-19, as the squad finished 26-8. The Beavers followed that up by winning 23 games in 2019-20, despite the cancellation of the NCAA Tournament. Mikayla Pivec and Destiny Slocum both earned All-Pac-12 recognition in 2018-19 and 2019-20. In 2022-23, Chatterton coached Raegan Beers to the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year award, OSU’s first since 1993.
Chatterton helped the team to a 26-7 mark in 2017-18, including a third-place finish in the Pac-12 and the Beavers’ second ever Elite Eight appearance. Marie Gulich earned All-America honors for her outstanding senior campaign.
The assistant coach helped guide Oregon State to its first ever NCAA Final Four in 2015-16, as the team went 32-5 and defeated national power Baylor in the Dallas Regional to make it to the final weekend of the season. The Beavers also notched Pac-12 Regular Season and Tournament titles, and ended the year ranked No. 2 in the WBCA Coaches’ Poll.
Chatterton helped Oregon State players to a number of individual honors as well, as guard Jamie Weisner was named an All-American and Pac-12 Player of the Year. Weisner was joined by teammates Ruth Hamblin and Sydney Wiese on the All-Pac-12 Team for the second-straight season.
Oregon State tallied 27 wins, won its first ever Pac-12 title and earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament in 2014-15, Chatterton’s first year with the team. Along the way the Beavers also earned a number of impressive victories, including a road win over No. 6 North Carolina, a pair of wins over No. 12 Arizona State and a victory over California to lock down the conference championship.
The Salt Lake City native came to Corvallis by way of Colorado, where he was on staff for four seasons, including the last as associate head coach. During his time in Boulder, the Buffaloes won 83 total games and made postseason appearances each year, highlighted by an NCAA Tournament run in 2013. Chatterton played integral roles in recruiting, opponent scouting, post development and putting together Colorado’s offensive and defensive schemes.
He helped the Buffaloes to WNIT quarterfinal appearances in each of his first two seasons and a trip to the third round in 2014. The 2011-12 squad enjoyed its first 20-win season in eight years (21-14) and also marked the first back-to-back winning seasons for Colorado since 2003-04. In his first year at CU, the Buffaloes were 18-16, including wins over a pair of ranked teams.
One reason for Colorado’s upswing was the development of its front court. Among many, Chatterton helped forward Arielle Roberson to 2013 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors.
He was valuable on the recruiting trail for CU as well, helping the Buffaloes acquire the 27th best recruiting class in the nation in 2012, according to ESPN.com’s HoopGurlz, a class that included a pair of national Top 100 recruits.
Before heading to Colorado, Chatterton spent eight highly successful seasons as an assistant coach at BYU (2001-09). While in Provo, the Cougars compiled a 157-89 record (.638), won two Mountain West Conference regular-season titles (2006-07), one MWC Tournament crown (2002) and went to the NCAA Tournament four times.
Chatterton’s success has garnered the coach national recognition and he has been part of a select group invited to Nike’s renowned Villa 7 Consortium each of the last two years, which brings together university athletics directors and the country’s elite assistant coaches in an effort to prepare the next generation of college basketball leaders. Less than 10 percent of women’s basketball assistants from the nation’s nearly 350 Division I programs have received invitations to the exclusive event the past three years, which has grown to become one of the most respected gatherings for professional development and networking in the country.
Prior to joining BYU, Chatterton spent two years as an assistant men’s coach at Westminster College, an NAIA school in Salt Lake City (1998-2000) where he helped revive a program that had been discontinued in 1979.
He received his bachelor’s in exercise and sport science from the University of Utah in 2000. He played one year of basketball for Rocky Mountain College (Mont.) before transferring to Utah.
Prior to arriving in Boulder, Chatterton took one year off from collegiate coaching (2009-10), working as the Director of Sales and Marketing for OrthoRx Inc, a medical supply company in San Diego. He remained involved in basketball as a coach for the Cal Swish Basketball Club of Orange County.
Chatterton has a daughter Josie and he and his wife Cami have two daughters, Celia and Jada, and a son, Hudson.
