Indiana
Out: Mike Woodson
In: Darian DeVries
Grade: A-
Indiana was among the first teams to join the search for a new coach, and concluded their process early thanks to controversial NCAA Tournament bubble decisions which left West Virginia out of the field. Just one year after taking the West Virginia job, it is only fair to give a similar grade given his relatively successful season in a power conference.
After a long run of success at Drake, he successfully made the jump to the high-major level, and will see how much he can make out of increased resources at one of college basketball’s blue-blood programs. Bringing his son Tucker, who was shut down with injury this season, would kickstart the rebuilding process for a team featuring plenty talent.
