Georgia hires Crean as coach

Georgia hired former Indiana coach Tom Crean as its coach Thursday, capping a fast-paced search only five days after firing Mark Fox.

Crean was hired one day after former Ohio State coach Thad Matta withdrew from consideration.

Crean was 356-231 in 18 seasons at Marquette and Indiana from 1999-2017. He led teams to nine NCAA appearances, four Sweet 16s and the 2003 Final Four with a Marquette team led by Dwyane Wade.

Fox was fired Saturday after earning two NCAA Tournament bids in nine seasons.
