Personally I wouldn't be so keen on obstructing that single drainage hole for something like an olive tree, which generally detest damp roots. The jury's out on how useful crocks actually are in general. For similar reasons I prefer to increase the pot size bit-by-bit, rather than jumping to something significantly bigger. Some good tips otherwise.
