Darian DeVries will return Hoosiers to prominence: Opinion

Confused by IU basketball’s rush to hire Darian DeVries from West Virginia? You weren’t alone. But look deeper. The more you study DeVries, the more you realize: He’ll get it done at Indiana.
DeVries won immediately at Drake and West Virginia, two places where the time or place – or both – wasn’t conducive to winning. His career record in seven seasons: 169-68.
DeVries will surely bring his son, 6-7 guard Tucker DeVries, a two-time MVC player of the year who played just eight games at West Virginia – where his dad proved, again, he can win without his son.

The Indiana basketball program has hired West Virginia’s Darian DeVries as coach, and I love it. Could I love it more? Yes, but only if DeVries changed the way he spelled his last name. What would look better? S-t-e-v-e-n-s. But Brad Stevens wasn’t coming to save IU basketball. Which means IU athletic director Scott Dolson needed another superhero.

And Darian DeVries looks great in a cape.
