Indiana close to deal to make Mike Woodson the program’s 30th head coach

Indiana is close to a deal with Mike Woodson to become the 30th head coach in school history, Inside the Hall has learned.

Rick Bozich of WDRB.com was the first to report that Woodson had emerged as a leading candidate for the job on Sunday afternoon.

The two sides are believed to be close to a deal that would bring Woodson, a current assistant coach with the New York Knicks, back to Bloomington.

Woodson, a Broad Ripple product, starred for Indiana from 1976-80 under Bob Knight and went on to be selected No. 12 in the 1980 NBA draft by the New York Knicks.
