The former Marquette coach was introduced at a news conference Wednesday. He replaces Kelvin Sampson, who resigned before last season ended amid NCAA allegations of recruiting violations.
Crean held up a T-shirt that read ``Crean & Crimson,'' a play on the team's colors of cream and crimson. He will try to restore the reputation of a team that changed coaches three times since Bob Knight's firing in 2000.
Crean's contract is for eight years, with an average salary of more than $2 million.
