BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana University will hire Marquette's Tom Crean as its basketball coach and is expected to introduce him at a news conference today.

University trustee Philip Eskew confirmed the hiring.

Eskew said Crean had signed a letter of intent with the university.

The hiring comes near the end of a tumultuous six-week period in which former Hoosiers coach Kelvin Sampson resigned amid an NCAA scandal. Interim coach Dan Dakich replaced him and then lost four of seven games.

PHILADELPHIA — Wilt Chamberlain's next enduring stamp on basketball might come on the upper right corner of an envelope instead of a 100-point game.Wilt the Stilt could become Wilt the Stamp if a grass-roots effort to get the Hall of Famer and the only NBA player to score 100 points in a game on a commemorative U.S postage stamp is approved by postal officials.The cause was started by sports writer Donald Hunt of The Philadelphia Tribune, a newspaper that primarily targets the black community. Hunt believes "The Big Dipper" has the credentials to join Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Joe Louis and Jesse Owens among the sports legends with their own stamps.
