Assembly Hall
The current home of the Hoosiers. The 17,472 seat arena has been the home of the men's basketball team since 1972. The basketball floor is named Branch McCracken Court after the legendary Hoosier coach. The south end of the arena prominently displays the program's five national championship banners. Assembly Hall's unusual construction makes it extremely loud; Duke men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski stated after a narrow victory in 2005 that "when they [the Hoosiers] went ahead that was about as loud as any place I've ever heard outside of Cameron [Indoor Stadium]." Indiana Daily Student News Story 12/1/2005 The Hoosiers enjoyed two consecutive seasons ('74-'75, '75-'76) in which they were undefeated in Big Ten play on their home court.Cook Hall
Completed in 2010, the basketball practice facility is located next to Assembly Hall and connected to it by an underground tunnel. It contains a museum, locker rooms, practice courts, players' lounges, training and treatment areas, strength and conditioning areas along with coaches offices.Career coaching records
