Potential Underwood replacements

After the departure of Brad Underwood to Illinois on Saturday, the Oklahoma State men’s basketball team will look for its third coach in as many years. Here is a list of potential candidates.

Tom Crean

Crean recently coached at Indiana, guiding the Hoosiers to an 18-16 season before being fired after nine seasons at the helm. He was at Marquette from 1999-2008 until he took the job at Indiana. He led the Golden Eagles to the Final Four in 2003 and coached Dwyane Wade and Steve Novak. Crean runs an up-tempo offense and aggressive defense similar to the principles Underwood ran in 2016-17.
