Dane Fife is the current head coach of the IPFW Mastodons men's basketball team. At 26, he is the youngest NCAA head men's basketball coach. Previously, he played for the Indiana Hoosiers during their 2002 NCAA runner-up campaign. Dane finished his career with the Hoosiers having scored 736 total points.

One of the more well-known plays of his college career was a foul on Duke 's Jason Williams in the final seconds of a 2002 Sweet Sixteen game. With Duke down by 4 and time for just one play, Fife fouled Jason Williams on a 3-point shot. Williams drained the basket, giving him the opportunity to tie the game with a free throw. Fortunately for Fife, Williams failed to connect on the shot from the Charity Stripe , advancing the Hoosiers to the Elite Eight .

Fife is often asked about the play, and denies committing the Foul to this day.
