IU fires Tom Crean

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana University has fired basketball head coach Tom Crean.

The announcement came after a poor season after being ranked as high as number three in the nation.

Crean joined the program in 2008, after Kelvin Sampson resigned following NCAA recruiting violations.

Over the past five years, Crean led IU to a 120-53 record and won the 2013 and 2016 Big Ten titles outright.
