Mike Woodson in talks to step down at Indiana after this season, sources say

Mike Woodson is likely to step down as head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers after this season, according to a report from ESPN.

Woodson's contract stipulates he would be paid $8.4 million if he is fired, and he is negotiating terms for his departure.
Criticism has surrounded Woodson due to the team's underperformance, failing to reach the NCAA Tournament last season and being in danger of repeating that this year.
