21. Indiana
Longtime NBA coach Mike Woodson returned home to Indiana — where he was born, raised, and played college basketball. The Hoosiers needed a jolt, and got it with the veteran head man. Indiana is in the midst of its second year with Woodson at the helm. The program already seems to have a stronger sense of accountability and discipline. That comes directly from its head man.
Indiana has recruited better with Woodson than many expected. With so much personal pride on the line with this job, we can’t see Woodson leaving for another gig. We also think he’ll be extremely hard-working in trying to get his alma mater back to national prominence.
