Report: West Virginia hiring Ross Hodge as new coach

Ross Hodge

West Virginia and North Texas coach Ross Hodge are in agreement on a five-year deal that would bring him to Morgantown at the conclusion of the Mean Green’s season, CBS Sports reported Wednesday.

UNT (27-8) still is competing in the NIT, having defeated Oklahoma State on Tuesday night to advance to the semifinals.

Hodge is 46-23 in two seasons as head coach of the Mean Green, having replaced Grant McCasland ahead of the 2023-24 campaign. His tenure in Denton, Texas, marked his first as a head coach at the D-I level; he was a head coach at the junior college level from 2006-11.

Hodge would replace Darian DeVries, who was hired by Indiana after one season coaching the Mountaineers.

Hodge has ties to West Virginia athletic director Wren Baker, who also was at UNT until taking the Mountaineers post in late 2022.

West Virginia declined an invitation to the NIT after being left out of the NCAA Tournament.
