Indiana Hires Darian DeVries to Lead Men's Basketball Program

The former West Virginia coach aims to restore the Hoosiers' historic prominence after years of inconsistency.

Darian DeVries, known for his success at Drake and West Virginia, has been named Indiana's new head basketball coach, replacing Mike Woodson.
DeVries brings a track record of quick program turnarounds, including leading Drake to three NCAA Tournament appearances and revitalizing West Virginia in just one season.
Indiana has struggled to maintain consistent success, missing the NCAA Tournament in two of the past four seasons and failing to advance past the Sweet 16 since 2016.
Speculation has grown that Tucker DeVries, Darian's son and a standout player, may transfer to Indiana after a shoulder injury limited his season at West Virginia.
West Virginia now faces its fourth head coaching search in as many years, with fans and players expressing frustration over DeVries' departure.
