Following the season, he accepted the head coaching position at Creighton, in his home state of Nebraska.

Altman became the 14th head coach in Creighton history following the 1993–94 season after four years as the head coach at Kansas State.
Hired on March 31, 1994, Altman inherited a team that posted a 7–22 ledger the year before his arrival and led the Bluejays to a slightly improved 7–19 record in 1994–95 before his 1995–96 squad jumped to 14–15.
In 1996–97, Altman's team was 15–15 and followed with another substantial jump to 18–10 and a bid to the NIT in 1997–98.
