Mike Woodson has an NBA return in his sights. He is set to join the Sacramento Kings coaching staff as the associate head coach under Doug Christie, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported.
Woodson spent his entire career coaching in the NBA until 2021 when Indiana brought him back to Bloomington to replace Archie Miller. The Hoosiers made the NCAA Tournament in each of his first two seasons at his alma mater, but missed the big dance in 2024 and 2025 before stepping down at season’s end. All told, Woodson had an 82-53 overall record at IU.
Before accepting his first college coaching job, Woodson was a longtime coach in the NBA. He had two head-coaching stints with the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks as he amassed a 315-365 record between the two. Atlanta made three playoff appearances under his watch, including two Eastern Conference semifinals, while New York headed to the postseason twice.
