Indiana University has hired a new head coach to take over where Kelvin Sampson has left off. His name is Tom Crean. Crean has been the head coach for Marquette the past nine seasons and turned that program around in his stay there. Crean replaces Kelvin Sampson who resigned after violating the NCAA recruiting rules.
Ironically enough, Tom Crean attended a Bob Knight coaching clinic as a kid. Knight is the legendary Indiana coach probably best known for throwing a chair across the court while a game was going on. Oh, and he did win a couple national championships too, but they don't like to talk about it.
Indiana gave Crean an eight-year deal worth about 2 million each year.
