West Virginia seeks new basketball coach after DeVries departure

West Virginia basketball is in a tough spot after missing out on the 2025 NCAA tournament. Just days after this disappointment, their head coach, Darian DeVries, left for a position at Indiana. Under DeVries' leadership last season, the Mountaineers improved significantly, going from a 9-23 record to 19-13. Now, West Virginia needs to find its fourth head coach in four years. The search will focus on someone who can lead the team to success and stay for more than just one season. With several key players graduating, the new coach will have a challenging job ahead, especially as the Big 12 continues to grow stronger. EerSports, a popular 247Sports affiliate, is actively covering this coaching search. They have shared updates and insights from local experts and insiders, including Chris Anderson and Mike Casazza. Fans can follow along for more information about potential candidates and the future of the program. One notable candidate is Jerrod Calhoun, the head coach at Utah State. Calhoun had a successful season, leading his team to a 26-8 record. He has previous connections to West Virginia, having been an assistant coach there from 2007 to 2012. His coaching experience and ties to the program make him a strong contender.
