INDIANAPOLIS (AP) New Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean got the job security he wanted, signing a a 10-year contract worth at least $23.6 million.

The deal includes an annual base salary of $600,000 and additional payments for promotional work, school officials said Tuesday. He will receive $1.4 million this season from outside income, a total that will increase slightly each year of the contract.

"I left a very special situation at Marquette when Indiana offered me this opportunity," Crean said in a statement. "I wanted to make sure that if I left, I would be going to a place that would be a destination for my family and allow me to build a program for the long haul with the same security."
