The Indiana Hoosiers are searching for a new men’s basketball coach for the third time in 10 years after Mike Woodson announced his pending retirement. Woodson, who is in his fifth season with the Hoosiers, will finish coaching until the end of the 2024-25 season before departing. Indiana has won two of its last three games after dominating No. 13 Purdue on Sunday. Celtics president Brad Stevens said he will not take the job, wiping one of the top candidates off the board. However, the Indiana basketball coaching job is among the best in college basketball, so there should be plenty of elite coaches interested in the opening.

Top Indiana basketball coach candidates

One name the staff has identified as a potential target on the Indiana basketball coaching hot board is UCLA coach Mick Cronin. UCLA is in financial debt, and the Bruins must travel significantly more than the Hoosiers, so it could be a potentially enticing move.

Cronin won the Ohio Valley and reached two NCAA Tournaments in three seasons at Murray State before reaching nine straight NCAA Tournaments at Cincinnati. His success continued at UCLA, where he led the Bruins to the Final Four in his second season at the helm. Cronin has ties to the region, as he was born in Cincinnati and attended school there to go along with his extended coaching gig with the Bearcats. See more candidates at Peegs.com.
