Mike Woodson was introduced Monday morning as the 30th head men’s basketball coach at Indiana University.
In a lengthy news conference, both Woodson and athletics director Scott Dolson took questions from the media and also discussed the future of the program.
Here are five takeaways from Monday’s introductory press conference:
• The Indiana coaching job has been a goal for Woodson: Woodson has spent the duration of his lengthy coaching career in the NBA, but says he never lost his passion for the IU basketball program.
Woodson, who starred for Bob Knight from 1977-1980 and amassed 2,061 career points for the Hoosiers, said Monday that’s he’s been “glued” to IU basketball over the 30-plus years he spent in the NBA.
