Former IU basketball coach Mike Woodson released a statement Friday evening on his social media accounts expressing gratitude for his four years leading the Indiana program in Bloomington.
Woodson thanked everyone in the program and his friends and family.
After spending 36 seasons in the NBA as a player and coach, Woodson came to Indiana in 2021. He coached IU for four seasons and compiled an 82-53 record including 41-39 in the Big Ten. He led the Hoosiers to two NCAA Tournaments but missed the event in each of his last two years leading the program.
Woodson was a star player at IU from 1976 to 1980 under Bob Knight. He scored 2,061 career points and helped lead IU to a 1980 Big Ten title.
The 67-year-old Woodson is expected to return to the NBA as an assistant coach for the Sacramento Kings.
