Indiana basketball has hired Ryan Carr as its executive director. Carr previously worked as the Indiana Pacers’ senior vice president of player personnel. He graduated from Indiana University in 1996 and also served as manager for the men’s basketball program.
Over the last two decades, he has been working with the Pacers. He started there in 1997 as a video intern. Over the years, he got promoted to several roles before becoming the vice president of player personnel.
Indiana recently confirmed the hiring via the Hoosier Huddle website. Carr has also served as a college scout, director of scouting, and director of player personnel.
“During his tenure with the Pacers, the franchise won three Central Division titles, made 14 playoff appearances, earned three 50-win seasons, reached five Eastern Conference Finals, and won the 2025 Eastern Conference title. Indiana drafted All-Star Danny Granger with the 17th pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, nine-time All-Star Paul George 10th overall in 2010, and two-time NBA blocks leader Myles Turner with the 11th selection in the 2015 draft,” the Indiana Athletics Release said.
With over two decades of NBA front office experience, Carr is a brilliant addition to the Indiana program. He will focus on roster building and assist with other areas of the program while reporting directly to head coach Darian DeVries.
Darian DeVries on Losing Against Purdue
The Indiana Hoosiers have dropped back-to-back games and are standing at a 17-10 overall and 8-8 in the conference. They lost by 20 points against Illinois and by 29 points against the Purdue Boilermakers in their last game.
At the post-game press conference, he was asked about the loss and how he tries to keep the team together after such a beatdown.
“Nights like these are hard. I mean, obviously, everybody knows how good Purdue is. And when they’re playing at a level like this, it makes it incredibly challenging. So, I thought they were terrific, responded incredibly well from a tough loss against Michigan,” he said.
Despite a blowout loss and suffering back-to-back losses this late in the season, DeVries said that it’s very important for the team to move on as soon as they can. He said that the team can’t afford to sit with the loss for long.
“I mean, it’s right here. It’s that stretch run right now. So, the only thing that matters is your next one,” he said.
DeVries said that his team will go back home and get ready for the next game.
