West Virginia is looking for another head coach now that DeVries has left to replace Mike Woodson at Indiana.
The Hoosiers are seemingly going all in on their commitment to men’s basketball, with plans to funnel money to players through NIL and revenue sharing. West Virginia has its share of resources, too.
“Our rev share numbers are very strong,” West Virginia AD Wren Baker told local reporters. “Our NIL support is very good. What we have allocated for staff and for budget and what we’re willing to do for him is all very competitive in the Big 12.”
“President [Rebecca] Cunningham has been awesome in her support,” Coyle said. “She understands for us to compete at the highest level in the Big Ten, we have to stretch ourselves. So, we’re prepared to do that. But it will ultimately depend on who we hire, the type of experience they have and what they bring to Minnesota.”
Friday afternoon, Gophers fans will surely be watching to see if Medved’s Rams can knock off Memphis coached by Penny Hardaway. The Tigers, who are also led by former Park Center star Dain Dainja in the post, are actually 1.5-point underdogs Friday.
