Just days before the NCAA Tournament gets underway, the most high-profile head coach opening in college basketball has officially been filled. After Mike Woodson’s departure from Indiana basketball, the Hoosiers have reached an agreement with West Virginia head coach Darian DeVries to be the new head coach in Bloomington, according to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports.
The Indiana coaching search had been trending this way for a few days ever since both the Hoosiers and West Virginia were snubbed from the NCAA Tournament as the first two teams out of the field. Both programs declined to compete in the NIT or any other postseason tournaments, ending their respective seasons.
DeVries spent just one season in Morgantown, finishing with a 19-13 record despite losing his son and star guard Tucker DeVries to an injury back in December. He had six very successful seasons at Drake before making the jump to the Power Five, including back-to-back Missouri Valley Conference Championships and NCAA Tournament appearances in 2022-23 and 2023-24.
