Mike Woodson to Depart Indiana after 2024-25 Season
Head coach Mike Woodson of Indiana's men's basketball team is set to leave the program following the 2024-25 season, as reported by Jeff Goodman. This announcement follows Woodson's contemplation of retirement, with a possible conclusion to his tenure at the end of the upcoming season. Discussions regarding his future indicate he is unlikely to remain beyond the 2025-26 season. Currently, Indiana holds a record of 14-9 and has faced significant challenges, including losing six of their last seven games. Following a disheartening defeat against Wisconsin, Woodson expressed concerns about the team's toughness and performance consistency. His overall record with Indiana stands at 77-49, having led the team to NCAA Tournament appearances in his first two years. However, after a disappointing 19-14 finish last season, the prospect of returning to March Madness in 2025 seems uncertain. Before his tenure at Indiana, Woodson had extensive coaching experience in the NBA, including roles with the Hawks and Knicks.
