INDIANAPOLIS — Nearly four weeks after parting ways with Matt Crenshaw, IU Indianapolis – formerly IUPUI – has found its next men's basketball coach.
Paul Corsaro, who has served as head men's basketball coach for the University of Indianapolis for the last four seasons, has been named the next leader of the Jaguars program.
An Indianapolis native, Corsaro has led UIndy to a 68-25 record over the last three seasons, with back-to-back NCAA Division II Tournament appearances and consecutive Great Lakes Valley Conference regular season titles.
"I'm honored to be the head men's basketball coach at IU Indianapolis," Corsaro said in a statement. "I want to thank President Whitten, Chancellor Ramchand and our Athletic Director, Luke Bosso, for their belief in me and my vision for this program. My wife, Brooke, and my son, Greg, are equally excited to be Jaguars and cannot wait to hit the ground running and get integrated with the entire IU Indianapolis community."
A two-time graduate of UIndy, Corsaro began his coaching career as an assistant and associate head coach at UIndy from 2012-18. He then spent two years as an assistant coach at Fort Wayne before returning to UIndy as head coach in 2020.
"We salute Paul in this unique opportunity to lead IU Indianapolis Men's Basketball," UIndy Interim Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. D. Scott Gines said in a statement. "He's passionately invested nearly half his life in UIndy – as a two-sport athlete, double alumnus, assistant and head coach – and we extend both our gratitude and best wishes in this new season of the Corsaro family's life."
