An Evening With Tom Crean at Wagon Wheel Center For The Arts

Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts is proud to present IU basketball head coach Tom Crean, Big Ten Coach of the Year, on Saturday, May 7, at 6 and 8:30 p.m.
Crean has been the Hoosier's head coach since 2008, and had served as Marquette University's head coach for nine season prior to his move to Indiana. As Indiana's coach, Crean is credited with the successful rebuilding of the program from several years of Big Ten and NCAA tournament drought. His coaching style has tended to emphasize fast-paced play, including transition offense and defensive press.
The media and fellow coaches unanimously voted Crean Big Ten Coach of the Year after the Hoosiers defied early-season expectations with an outright conference title. The team would go on to lose early in the conference tournament to Michigan University, but in the NCAA tournament fought past Chattanooga and Kentucky to the Sweet Sixteen, where their tournament run came to an end versus 1-seeded North Carolina.
