DISQUS

I hope he is never allowed to coach in college basketball again. I know everyone is going to say well at least the players aren't getting paid, that is so much worse. I agree. Paying player's is a much more serious offense, that being said he was caught not once, but twice. The first was a slap on the wrist, the second time you thumb your nose at the NCAA, you should be banned from college basketball. Am I supposed to be thankful that he "convinced" the players to finish the season out? Most of those guys gave up the day he left, don't take my word for it, re-watch the games. They quit on Dakich and took an easy out. The were impressionable young men who were taken advantage of by a shady person. Sampson can rot in NBA for all I care, but he should never ever be allowed anywhere near college basketball again. I am not naive, I know that no one is squeaky clean but come on, you got caught once already. All he had to do was adhere to the rules and he couldn't do. I call that unethical, he knew right from wrong, and he chose to break the rules again.

Agreed.

My biggest problem w KS is that he SHOULD have been the MOST interested , the FIRST to know , and the FIRST to prevent or or report any phone call mistakes. Then when he gets caught he looks for anyone and everyone around him to take the responsibiity instead of himself. As usual his attempts at a cover up and spin are more despicable than the crime.

I think it was 1963, not sure, IU finished 9th in the B10 and followed the next year by winning the B10. Maybe the only time this has been done. We were led by Vernon Payne maybe the most unsung HS and college star we ever had in this state. My point is we have a chance to make history next year............who will be our Vernon Payne ?

Why is Sampson news ?
