Darian DeVries has been hired as head coach of Indiana University on a six-year deal to replace Mike Woodson. DeVries takes over the Hoosiers after just one season at West Virginia. DeVries led West Virginia to a 19-13 record and were one of the last teams out of the NCAA Tournament.
“This is unquestionably one of the top jobs in America,” DeVries said in a statement. “As someone who grew up in the Midwest loving the game of basketball, I’ve always admired the IU Basketball program for its championship-level success, tradition, and fan support. There’s a passion to succeed at the very highest levels both within the Big Ten and in the NCAA Tournament, and that’s a desire that as a coach I share.”
DeVries was the head coach at Drake for six seasons, guiding the Bulldogs to three NCAA tournament appearances in his final four seasons.Â
