West Virginia University Vice President and Director of Athletics Wren Baker believes the basketball program's recent success stacks up against one of the 'bluebloods'

In his 28 months as West Virginia’s director of athletics, Wren Baker has sat with the media to discuss coaching searches and ultimately the hiring of coaches

As expected, the second Darian DeVries accepted Indiana’s offer, WVU fans instantly started bringing up one name to be his replacement. That name is Bob Huggins. West Virginia director of athletics Wren Baker was even asked directly about Huggins during his press conference to discuss the coaching search on Wednesday.

West Virginia fans were stunned when the news broke that head coach Darian DeVries was taking his talents to Bloomington to coach the Indiana Hoosiers.

The Hoosiers hired Darian DeVries, a consistent winner at Drake, after he spent one season coaching West Virginia, also a NCAA Tournament snub like IU.

In the wake of Darian DeVries' departure for the Indiana head coaching job, West Virginia fans are crying foul about what they think was a conspiracy months in the making.

To my knowledge, he only talked to one, so I don’t think it was a situation where he didn’t feel good about here.” Unfortunately, WVU didn't get to make one last pitch in an effort to give Indiana the stiff arm.

West Virginia men's basketball head coach Darian DeVries could be the top choice for Indiana's vacant gig, per Jeff Goodman of Field of 68. Pete Thamel of ESPN also reported Indiana is "targeting" DeVries.
