Indiana Hoosiers men’s basketball head coach Mike Woodson has officially announced his decision to retire after four seasons at the helm, expressing a heartfelt desire to focus on his health, spend more time with his family, and step away from the intense demands of coaching.
Woodson, a former Indiana standout who returned to lead his alma mater in 2021, brought a wealth of experience from both the college and NBA levels. Under his leadership, the Hoosiers secured multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and saw a resurgence in national prominence. However, as he steps down, Woodson emphasizes that his decision is rooted in personal reflection and a commitment to his well-being.
“This program means the world to me, and coaching my Hoosiers has been an incredible honor,” Woodson stated. “But at this stage in my life, I know it’s time to step back, take care of my health, and spend more time with the people who matter most—my family.”
While his departure marks the end of an era, Woodson leaves behind a legacy of passion, leadership, and dedication to Indiana basketball. As the Hoosiers begin their search for a new head coach, his impact on the program will be remembered for years to come.
