West Virginia is working toward a deal to hire North Texas' Ross Hodge as its next head coach and an agreement is expected to be reached in the near-future, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Hodge is still coaching in the NIT, as the Mean Green won at Oklahoma State on Tuesday night to advance to the event's Final Four. They will play the winner of UC Irvine vs. UAB next Tuesday.
West Virginia athletic director Wren Baker knows Hodge from his time as UNT's AD from 2016 to 2022.
