Tom Crean Indiana Hoosiers Last Second Plays by Wes Kosel<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Attached in this playbook are four full-court last-second plays from Indiana Hoosiers Head Coach Tom Crean. Crean, a 15 year veteran as a head coach, has won almost 300 games in his career and just passed the 100-win mark at Indiana this past season. In 6 years at Indiana, the Hoosiers have made it to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen twice including a Big Ten regular season Conference Championship in 2012-2013. Before taking the job at Indiana, Crean was the Head Coach at Marquette where his Golden Eagles made the NCAA Tournament five times and a run to the Final Four in 2002-2003.<\/p>\n

In these full-court plays, Crean does a great job of creating multiple scoring options. Be sure to practice these plays and make sure that your inbounder is comfortable making a full-court pass. A baseball-style pass will probably work best. Also, practice making the pass at a lower trajectory if you know you will be playing in a gym with a low ceiling.<\/p>\n
