Marquette's Crean To Take Over At Indiana

POSTED: 11:59 pm EDT April 1, 2008

(Sports Network) - Indiana University has reached an agreement with Tom Crean to become its next men's basketball coach.

The university will hold a press conference on Wednesday at 11 a.m. (et) to introduce Crean.

Crean, who compiled a 190-96 record over nine seasons with the Marquette Golden Eagles, recently completed his ninth season as coach at MU, leading the team to a 25-10 record last season and the second round of the NCAA tournament, where they fell to Stanford.

Crean, a former Michigan State assistant, also led Marquette to the Final Four in 2003, the first time since 1977 that the school reached the national semifinals.

The hiring comes on the heels of a tumultuous season for the Hoosiers, in which former head coach Kelvin Sampson was forced to resign amid NCAA violations and was replaced by Dan Dakich on an interim basis.

The Hoosiers lost four of their last seven games including a first-round NCAA game to Arkansas under Dakich and finished the season 25-8.

Dakich also dismissed guards Jamarcus Ellis Armon Bassett earlier Tuesday, after they missed a scheduled appointment last week and then failed to run extra laps as their punishment the next day.
