Fran McCaffery fired: 5 Iowa basketball coaching candidates

Darian DeVries

DeVries might be the home-run swing in this coaching search. He led Drake to the NCAA Tournament in three of his six seasons with the program and will likely have the West Virginia Mountaineers dancing in his first season in Morgantown. The 49-year-old grew up two hours northwest of Iowa City in Aplington and he could be a threat to return home despite being at West Virginia for only one season.
