Report: WVU's Darian DeVries Among Top Candidates for Indiana HC After Woodson Exit

West Virginia men's basketball head coach Darian DeVries could be the top choice for Indiana's vacant gig, per Jeff Goodman of Field of 68.

Pete Thamel of ESPN also reported Indiana is "targeting" DeVries.

DeVries, 49, was Drake's head coach for six years before leading West Virginia this season. He led Drake to six straight seasons of 20 or more wins (150-55 overall) and three NCAA tournament appearances.

This year's West Virginia team went 19-13 and 10-10 in Big 12 play. Bracketologists unanimously had them in the NCAA tournament field, per Bracket Matrix, but the Mountaineers missed out.

Indiana is looking for a new head coach after Mike Woodson, who starred for the program as a player, previously announced he would step down at the end of the season. The Hoosiers haven't made the NCAA tournament in either of the past two seasons.

If DeVries ends up being the answer, it could be a great hire for Indiana. DeVries quickly turned around West Virginia, which went 9-23 overall (4-14 Big 12) the year before his arrival.

Of course, DeVries could also stay in town. ESPN's Pete Thamel provided an update on the Pat McAfee Show and noted how West Virginia has been "aggressive" in trying to keep him.

At the moment, DeVries remains West Virginia's coach, but there's certainly big questions about his future destination at this point.
