The Indiana Hoosiers basketball team have won 5 national championships, 20 Big Ten championships and used to consistently rank in the nations top 25 teams, and have made it to the NCAA tournament 6 times in the past 10 years. In 1975–76 Bob Knight led the team to an NCAA championship without losing a game (the last men's Division I squad to achieve this feat). His 1981 team was led to the title by Isiah Thomas
, and his 1987 team by Steve Alford
. The 1987 championship game was capped by Keith Smart
's jumpshot with five seconds left to play over the Syracuse Orangemen
. 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
.
Many students and alumni protested the Knight firing, and several players threatened to transfer unless Knight assistant Mike Davis
was chosen to replace Knight. Davis ultimately got the job and took the team to the 2002 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament
title game. After this initial success, however, the team struggled under Davis. On February 16, 2006, Davis announced he would resign but remain with the team for the rest of the 2006 season.
On March 28, 2006, Kelvin Sampson
, formerly head coach at the University of Oklahoma
, was named the successor. 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
. He and his staff were also charged with making more than the maximum alloted number of phone calls allowed under NCAA rules and giving inappropriate gifts to a recruit during a meeting deemed to be against NCAA rules. Indiana University punished Sampson by denying him a previously scheduled $500,000 raise, compelling one of his assistant coaches to resign, and taking away one of his scholarships for the 2008-2009 season.
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. On April 1, 2008, Indiana hired Marquette University
coach Tom Crean
to succeed interim head coach Dan Dakich
.
was built in 1960. There have been many renovations since the original construction, including installing artificial turf in 1970, the replacement of wooden seats with aluminum, installation of sound and lighting systems, and laying of a new Astroturf
surface in 1986
, which was subsequently replaced with natural grass in 1998. In 2003, AstroPlay artificial turf was installed. Plans went through on September 22, 2006 to enclose the north endzone of Memorial Stadium. This addition is part of a $55 million overhaul of Indiana University's sports facilities. In the University's Facility Enhancement Plan the following was stated:
The current head football coach of the Hoosiers is Kevin R. Wilson
.
The team has made the following bowl game appearances.
Indiana's most successful football coaches to date were Bill Mallory
and Bo McMillin
.
The Hoosiers have won seven national championships in men's soccer
: 1982, '83, '88, '98, '99, 2003 and 2004 - the first six teams led by six-time national Coach of the Year Jerry Yeagley
. After leading the Hoosiers for 31 years, Yeagley retired after the 2003 season and was replaced by long time assistant and former Hoosier All-American, Mike Freitag
. He was an assistant to Yeagley for 11 seasons before taking over the head job. Freitag added the program's seventh national title in his inaugural year in 2004. It marked the third occasion in which IU had won back-to-back national titles and it was the program's record 17th appearance in the College Cup. In December 2009, Jerry's son; Todd Yeagley
was appointed Head Coach.
In the program's 32 seasons, Indiana owns more wins (563), has appeared in more College Cups (17) and has a higher winning percentage in both regular season (.821) and post-season play (.768) than any other school in Division I soccer
. Its last NCAA Title came in 2004 when it beat UC Santa Barbara in penalty kicks 1-1 (3-2 PK's).
In addition to being a six-time National Coach of the Year, Yeagley also was the recipient of the prestigious Bill Jeffery Award, in recognition of his outstanding and unique contributions to intercollegiate soccer. In 1989, Yeagley was inducted into the United States Soccer Federation
Hall of Fame
.
IU players have won six Hermann Trophies
(including Ken Snow
twice) and three Missouri Athletic Club
Player of the Year awards. The Hoosiers have had 13 United States men's national soccer team
players, six Olympians and six World Cup
players. In addition, Hoosier players have earned All-America honors 52 times.
Every year since the NCAA began tracking men's soccer attendance in 2001, the IU program has ranked among the top three in average or total attendance. Indiana led the nation in average attendance in 2004 and 2005 and in total attendance in 2003.
On September 2, 2007, the No. 8 ranked Hoosiers defeated the No. 1 ranked UCLA Bruins in front of a crowd of 7,243, the largest ever at Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium
.
Three Indiana Hoosiers played during the inaugural WUSA season: Wendy Dillinger
, Atlanta Beat, Tracy Grose
, Carolina Courage
and Kelly Wilson, Bay Area CyberRays.
and Hobie Billingsley
, the men’s swimming and diving program won 140 consecutive dual meets, 20 consecutive Big Ten titles and an NCAA Division I record six consecutive NCAA Championships (1968–1973), most of which were won under swimming great Mark Spitz
. A writer for Sports Illustrated
in the early 1970s said, "a good case can be made for the 1971 Indiana swimming team being the best college team ever--in any sport." http://www.indiana.edu/~athlweb/graphic/sports/m-swim/mswtrad.htmlhttp://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/ind/sports/m-swim/auto_pdf/08mediaguide-section2.pdf
The Hoosiers have won the fifth-most NCAA Championships and their 23 Big Ten
crowns ranks second in the conference's 90-year history. Indiana University has produced 79 individual swimming and diving champions, 191 Big Ten swimming champions, 24 conference diving champions and has won 45 Big Ten relay events. The 79 national champions ranks third among Big Ten
schools while the individual Big Ten diving, relay and individual swimming crowns all rank second among the 11 conference schools. The success goes well beyond the Big Ten and the NCAA Championship as is evidenced by the eight straight U.S. National Diving Championships that Indiana divers have won.
In March 2006 the Hoosiers won the Big Ten
title again, this time under coaches Ray Looze and Jeff Huber.
The Counsilman-Billingsley Center in the Student Recreational Sports Center is a 44651 square feet (4,148.2 m²) aquatics center used by Indiana's varsity swimming and diving programs. It features an eight-lane Olympic-sized pool spanning 30512 square feet (2,834.7 m²) with depth ranging from seven to eight feet to allow for greater speed. The Billingsley Diving Center, complete with one of the country's few indoor diving towers, features four one-meter and two three-meter springboards as well as one-, three-, five-, seven- and 10-meter platforms.
The Indiana University Outdoor Pool serves as the team's training facility in the summer months. It features a ten-lane Olympic-sized pool along with a diving pool that includes a 10-meter platform.
as an NCAA
sport, Indiana is one of only nine schools in the nation to have won more than two men's national titles, and is one of seven programs to win at least three national titles. The school's three team national titles came in 1938, 1940, and 1942. IU's 29 NCAA men's championship team appearances are tied for ninth-most in the sport’s history. Indiana has found itself in the top five at the NCAA Men's Championship on nine different occasions. A Hoosier has captured the men's individual crown three times, making Indiana one of only six schools in the country, and the only Big Ten
school, to have more than two individual NCAA men's cross country champions. The three individual titles rank as the fourth-most by any school.
individual national champions, something only three other schools in the nation, and just one other in the Big Ten
, can claim. On four occasions, the Hoosiers have competed for the NCAA crown as a team (1988, 89, 90, 2002). The 1988 season saw Indiana winning an individual men's and women's national cross country championship, a feat that had never happened before in the sport, and has never happened since.
(ACHA) and is a member of the Central States Collegiate Hockey League
(CSCHL). The team plays off-campus at the historic Frank Southern Ice Arena. The team holds the 1971 and 2001 Big Ten Hockey League championships, 8 Midwestern Collegiate Hockey League (MCHL) championships during the 1980s and 1990s, and the 2002 Great Midwest Hockey League
(GMHL). The Hoosiers men's ice hockey team was the national runner-up in the 1995, 1998, 2000, and 2008 ACHA
DII National Championships. In 2009 the program left the GMHL and ACHA Division II to join the ACHA Division I level, after playing one season as an independent team the team joined the CSCHL
for the 2010-11 season.
The Hoosiers' biggest traditional rival is the Purdue
Boilermakers
. The West Lafayette
(Purdue) and Bloomington (IU) campuses are the largest in the state of Indiana and are flagship campuses of the Purdue University and Indiana University systems respectively. IU and Purdue have competed for the Old Oaken Bucket
in football since 1925
, a series which Purdue
leads 70–36–6. In basketball, IU's 20 Big Ten Championships
are second only to Purdue's
22. The Boilermakers also lead the men's basketball series 110–84. Since the 2001–02 year, IU and Purdue have also competed for an all-sports trophy called the Crimson & Gold Cup. IU leads the series 5–3–2 http://www.purduesports.com/ot/pur-titan.html.
Illinois
After Purdue, the Hoosiers' biggest football rival would be the Illinois Fighting Illini
. Often pitting two basketball schools who are consistently struggling in football, the series usually remains fairly competitive. IU's rivalry with UI
in basketball, however, is much more heated. IU leads the all-time series on the hardwood 82–80. The rivalry has lasted through the ages, from Lou Henson
and Bob Knight publicly feuding to Kelvin Sampson
and Bruce Weber's heated interaction recently.
Kentucky
IU also has a heated border rivalry with the Kentucky
Wildcats
. The annual basketball game between the two often carries national significance as they have combined for 12 national championships Since 1991, the game has rotated between neutral sites in Indianapolis
and Louisville
. This neutrality ended during 2006 when the game was played at Rupp Arena
in Lexington, Kentucky
with the 2007 game played at Assembly Hall
in Bloomington, Indiana
. Basketball games between the Hoosiers and Wildcats
have at times drawn over 30,000 fans. The rivalry also spreads over into a very competitive football series with Indiana leading all-time 18-17.
Michigan State
Indiana also has a rivalry with Michigan State Spartans
which started in 1950. They battle for the Old Brass Spittoon
in football. Michigan State
is leading 40–12–1 with Michigan State winning the last two years.
What began as one man's idea of a bicycle
race to raise scholarship money has become annual IU springtime tradition. The Little 500
, which was first held in 1951, inspired the 1979 Academy Award
-winning film Breaking Away
. Sports Illustrated and USA Today have featured the race in their pages, and it has been covered on national television by CBS, ESPN, Fox Sports, the Outdoor Life Channel, and live in high-definition television by HDNet. Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong
called the Little 500, which has raised more than $1 million in scholarship money, "the coolest event I ever attended." http://www.indiana.edu/~iuadmit/about/traditions.shtml
1932 games and the Athens
2004 games at least one former alumni medaled at every Summer Olympics. In world record times, Mark Spitz
captured seven swimming gold medals in at the 1972 Summer Olympics
in Munich
. Following the Beijing
games, at least 173 IU athletes have competed in the Summer Olympics, of these are representatives of 15 nations. On twelve occasions, Olympic coaches have come from Indiana University. In total, the IU medal count is 84, which include 49 gold, 16 silver and 21 bronze.
