DES MOINES, Iowa -- Longtime Creighton Men's Basketball assistant coach Darian DeVries has accepted the head coaching position at Drake University. DeVries replaces Niko Medved, who resigned after one season last week to accept a similar position at Colorado State.
A press conference will be held on Friday to announce the hire.
An Iowa native, DeVries was a standout athlete in high school at Aplington-Parksburg High School and was inducted into the IHSAA Hall of Fame in 2015. DeVries arrived at Creighton in 1998, serving as a graduate manager for three seasons before being promoted to assistant coach.
