New York Knicks assistant Mike Woodson is finalizing a six-year contract to coach his alma mater, Indiana, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

CAA’s Spencer Breecker and Evan Daniels finalized details of the Indiana deal on Sunday, sources said. An official announcement is expected later today.

Woodson, 63, is from Indianapolis who played for the Hoosiers from 1976 to 1980. He has spent his entire coaching career in the NBA, with 25 years of experience as an assistant and head coach. He was the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks for six seasons and the Knicks for three seasons.

Woodson was rehired by the Knicks as an assistant coach in September 2020.

Indiana sacked Archie Miller earlier this month after four seasons at Bloomington. The Hoosiers sued Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens and Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann, but both remained where they were.
