Indiana men's basketball is reportedly turning to one of its own to revive its storied program.

The Hoosiers are moving toward a deal with longtime NBA coach and former IU star Mike Woodson, according to a report from Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports. Shams Charania of The Athletic reports Woodson is expected to accept an offer from Indiana. Woodson played at Indiana under Bob Knight from 1976–1980 and scored over 2,000 points in his career in Bloomington.
