Mike Woodson’s fifth season with the Indiana Hoosiers will be his last after the recent announcement that he’ll resign at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. Indiana made two NCAA Tournaments and is in the hunt for a third this year, but the Hoosiers have been far from the college basketball power they were from the late 1970s to the early 2000s. The Hoosiers currently have a 15-11 record (6-9 in Big Ten) and are projected to be a No. 12 seed that plays in the First Four, according to CBS Sports bracketology expert Jerry Palm.
The Indiana basketball coaching search is underway, and one potential candidate publicly removed himself from the conversation when Celtics president Brad Stevens said he will not be taking the job on Friday.

One name the staff has identified as a potential target on the Indiana basketball coaching hot board is UCLA coach Mick Cronin. The current head coach at UCLA faced Indiana on Friday and beat the Hoosiers 72-68, perhaps raising his stock as a candidate.
Cronin, who is well known for his tenure at Cincinnati from 2006-19, was asked to comment about the job opening following the game, but largely declined to give any kind of substantive answer.
“The way I look at it is that Mike Woodson’s the coach of Indiana,” Cronin told reporters. “That man’s coaching this basketball team. I have tremendous respect for the kids and their team, and to me, no one should say anything that distracts them with that.” See more candidates at Peegs.com.
The rest of the list includes the head coach of one of Indiana’s big rivals and a huge name in the basketball world “who is the white whale of Indiana basketball.” You can only see who they are at Peegs.com.
