The Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team is the intercollegiate men's basketball program representing Indiana University (IU). The school competes in the Big Ten Conference in Division I of the NCAA. The Hoosiers play on Branch McCracken Court at the Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana on the IU campus. Indiana has won five NCAA Championships in men's basketball (1940, 1953, 1976, 1981, 1987) — the first two under coach Branch McCracken and the later three under Bob Knight — and 20 Big Ten Conference championships. The Hoosiers' five NCAA Championships are the third-most in history, trailing only UCLA (11) and Kentucky (7). Indiana has intense rivalries both in-state, against the Purdue Boilermakers, and out-of-state, against the Kentucky Wildcats. The team is currently coached by Tom Crean. [1]
[edit] History
Indiana fielded its first men's basketball team as a member of the Big Ten (then called the Big Nine) in 1901. Indiana's first year was unremarkable, posting a 1-4 ledger under coach J.H. Horne.[2] Indiana's first victory was a 26-17 victory over Wabash College that same year.[2] IU's first great head coach, Everett Dean, was at first a standout player who garnered IU's first All-American honors in 1921. [2] In 1924, Dean signed on as the full time head coach of his alma mater.[2] Under Dean, the Hoosiers would elevate their play to new heights, winning their first ever share of the Western Conference title in 1926, defeating Wisconsin 35-20.[2] Before moving on to coach Stanford, Dean would lead the Hoosiers to two more conference titles and 162 wins.[2]
[edit] Branch McCracken era
When Dean left for Stanford, the popular selection to succeed him was Branch McCracken.[3] McCracken was another young alumni and former player under Everett Dean.[4] McCracken's first IU team was led by All-American Ernie Andres, later a McCracken basketball assistant.[2] In McCracken's first year, the team finished 17-3, splitting games with both Purdue and eventual NCAA runnerup Ohio State.[2] The following year, McCracken would take IU to unprecedented succes: an NCAA title and a record (at the time) 20 wins.[5] The 1940 team's 20-3 record would not be bested for another 13 years, by McCracken's 1953 NCAA title team.[6] McCracken went on to coach IU for 23 years, amassing 364 wins and 210 Big Ten wins.[2] His teams also won 4 regular season Big Ten titles and went to the NCAA tournament 4 times, winning two national titles.[2]
[edit] Bobby Knight era
Men's basketball at IU grew phenomenally popular during Knight's tenure. Indiana has ranked in the top 15 nationally in men's basketball attendance every season since Assembly Hall opened in 1972, and often in the top five.[7]
In the 1975-76 season, Knight led the Hoosiers to the NCAA Championship without a single defeat; Indiana remains the last school to accomplish this feat.[8][9] Knight's 1981 and 1987 NCAA championship teams were led by Isiah Thomas and Steve Alford, respectively. The 1987 championship game against the Syracuse Orangemen was capped by Keith Smart's game-winning jumpshot with five seconds of play remaining.[10] Knight's volatile temper, though, often brought as much controversy to the school as success, and eventually led to his dismissal in 2000 by then-University President Myles Brand.[11]
[edit] Recent years
Students and alumni protested the Knight firing, and several players threatened to transfer unless Knight assistant Mike Davis was chosen to replace Knight. Davis was ultimately named head coach. In his second year, Davis led his team to the 2002 NCAA championship game. After initial success, Davis struggled and was given an ultimatum to improve his team in the 2005-06 season.[12] On February 16, 2006, Davis announced he would resign but remain with the team for the rest of the 2006 season.[13]
On March 28, 2006, Kelvin Sampson, head men's basketball coach at the University of Oklahoma, was named the successor.[14] On October 14, 2007, he was found to have violated a 3-way phone conversation sanction imposed on him by the NCAA while he coached at Oklahoma. Indiana University punished Sampson by denying him a previously scheduled $500,000 raise, firing one of his assistant coaches, and taking away one of his scholarships for the 2008-2009 season.[15]
Despite fielding competitive teams and scoring a major recruiting victory by persuading Eric Gordon to sign with IU,[16] Sampson could not keep his promise to IU to stop violating NCAA rules. On February 8, 2008, the NCAA informed Indiana that Sampson had "knowingly violated telephone recruiting restrictions and then lied about it." After launching another internal investigation, Indiana University announced on February 22, 2008, that Kelvin Sampson accepted a $750,000 buyout of his contract and resigned as the Indiana University men’s basketball coach.[17] Dan Dakich was named Interim Head Coach.
After IU and Sampson parted ways, a ten-person committee headed by former IU quarterback Harry Gonso was selected to search for the next head basketball coach.[18] On April 1, 2008, sources close to IU reported that the school was set to hire coach Tom Crean of Marquette.[19] IU officials confirmed Crean's hiring the same day. [20] Tom Crean was officially introduced to the fans and media the following day.[21] Fans have already dubbed Crean's tunure as the "Crean and Crimson era"[22]
