Indiana has its next head coach.
West Virginia's Darian DeVries has accepted an offer to become Indiana's head coach, the program announced Tuesday.
DeVries, who'll turn 50 in April, just finished his first season as West Virginia's head coach. The Mountaineers went 19-13, picking up strong wins throughout the Big 12 slate, but were excluded from the NCAA Tournament. West Virginia was listed as the first team out.
Indiana was also on the bubble, going 19-13. Before the Hoosiers were among the first four teams out, the program announced in February that Woodson would step down at the end of the season after four years at the helm.

This will mark DeVries' third head coaching gig. He was previously Drake's head coach, going 150-55 in six seasons. Drake won the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title in 2018-19 before winning the conference tournament in back-to-back years in 2023 and 2024, and DeVries took the Bulldogs to three NCAA Tournaments during his tenure.
