Mike Woodson to Step Down as Indiana Basketball Coach After Season

Indiana University announces Woodson's decision following two challenging seasons without NCAA tournament appearances.

Mike Woodson, 66, will leave his role as Indiana men's basketball coach at the end of the 2024-25 season, citing personal reflection and program priorities.
Indiana has struggled this season with a 14-9 overall record and a 5-7 Big Ten record, missing NCAA tournament contention for the second straight year.
Athletic Director Scott Dolson praised Woodson for his contributions, including fostering NIL opportunities and reconnecting the program with its storied history.
Potential candidates to replace Woodson include Dusty May, Chris Beard, and T.J. Otzelberger, while speculation surrounds high-profile names like Brad Stevens and Scott Drew.
Indiana's rich basketball legacy and strong NIL resources make the coaching position highly attractive despite recent performance challenges.
