Mike Woodson spent the entirety of his coaching career in the NBA before he took the Indiana job back in 2021.
That experience has showed up in a few different ways and was a plus with his hiring. He’s sent two players to the NBA Draft and will see another, Kel’el Ware, hear his name called this year. The program hosts a preseason pro day for league scouts to get a glimpse of talent on the roster.
Now, entering year four, it was absolutely critical this offseason.
Woodson has excelled in short term recruitments during his first three offseasons as the Hoosiers’ head coach, adding Tamar Bates, Malik Reneau and Mackenzie Mgbako in consecutive spring cycles.
