The Indiana Hoosiers are one of the most successful college basketball programs in the country, but it has been nearly 40 years since they’ve won a national championship. Barring a surprise run in the Big Ten conference tournament, the Hoosiers are unlikely to earn a bid for the NCAA Tournament in March. Head coach Mike Woodson recently announced that he will step down at the end of the season, which means Indiana will look for the 31st head Indiana basketball coach in program history.
As one of the premier programs in college basketball, the Indiana basketball head coaching job should attract plenty of attention from the biggest names in the sport.

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. The 53-year-old head coach has been with UCLA since 2019, where he’s guided the Bruins to an overall record of 133-59. He’s led UCLA to a solid 18-6 overall record and 9-4 conference record in the program’s first season in the Big Ten.
Cronin owns a 15-14 record in NCAA Tournament play, and reached the Final Four once (with UCLA in 2021). Cronin is a native of the Midwest, growing up in Cincinnati. In recent years, he has proven to be a masterful recruiter when it comes to using the Transfer Portal. “Cronin would be the third straight Indiana head coach to prioritize defense,” Andershock wrote. “He has also relied on the transfer portal to build his recent teams. Would that combination play well with an on-edge fanbase?” See more candidates at Peegs.com.
