Indiana has hired West Virginia‘s Darian DeVries as new head coach of the men’s basketball program, the school announced Tuesday.
DeVries will receive a six-year deal with the school, sources told ESPN.
DeVries joins the Hoosiers after spending just one season with the Mountaineers. He was hired last March to replace interim head coach Josh Eilert, who had taken over for Bob Huggins following his resignation in June 2023. In his lone season at the helm, DeVries led West Virginia to a 19-13 overall record, finishing 10-10 in the Big 12 — before the Mountaineers were snubbed on Selection Sunday.
“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 signed a five-year deal when
