Indiana University Indianapolis has hired Ben Howlett away from Division II West Liberty University in Wheeling, West Virginia, to take over the men’s basketball program.
Howlett replaces Paul Corsaro, who was fired May 13 for what the university said was his treatment of players during his only season with the Jaguars. Corsaro denied the allegations.
Howlett was 217-37 at West Liberty with eight straight Mountain East Conference regular-season titles and eight straight Division II NCAA Tournament appearances. His 2023 team reached the Division II championship game.
West Liberty averaged 100.2 points per game last season and finished 30-5.
IU Indy was 10-24 overall and 6-14 in the Horizon League last season.
