BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson announced today that long-time Hoosier Dan Dakich will return to campus to serve as Director of Operations for the program. He will replace Jerry Green, who retired earlier this spring.
"I've known Dan for a lot of years," Sampson said. I've always had great respect for him. I think he's a man of great integrity and a great basketball person who can do a lot of things to help our program."
The Indiana native began a 16-year association with the IU program in the fall of 1981 after graduating from Andrean High School in Merrillville.
"My family and I are thrilled to be back at Indiana University," Dakich said. "It has been an extremely important place in our lives. I thank Coach Sampson for giving me this tremendous opportunity and I look forward to joining his staff in our quest for National and Big 10 Championships."
