Elston's name is mentioned several times further down though under Sec. 5.

Oh, I know Matta would never leave OSU. I guess when I wrote his name out three times, it was supposed to be like a movie sequence where you drift off into a dream. Thad Matta at Indiana is pretty much just that: a dream.

I hadn't thought of Sean Miller. Good call.

What a disgrace!!! I feel very sorry for the die hard fans and classy fans of IU basketball. The 19th isn't going to be as exciting as i was hoping. I hope it doesn't keep your team down for to long.

Elston is a minor and is implicated in the report.

Wow, I hope this team doesnt totally tank it now. MY iu source has said that KS. may not coach tonight and is gone tomorrow, with Ray McCallum waiting in the wings.
You know with this cold/flu I have I feel much sicker today. Maybe I will watch Clemens lie more on TV , What a sad day in sports...

as a follower of IPFW basketball...the LAST guy Hoosier fans will want is Dane Fife...HE IS A BRUTAL COACH!!! Trust me on that!

You can't have your cake and eat it to. If you feel that Kelvin Sampson should be fired immediately, do so. Don't wait for tomorrow because firing him today "would kill the team's focus for tonight". Their focus would be just as ruined for the weekend match-up against Michigan State.

Osu came off of a postseason ban to make the ncaa championship game in two years...i think realistically if we hire the right guy (this is if sampson is gone) there is no reason we can't do the same. i certainly don't think osu has had a better basketball program than iu and if they can do it than so can we

greenspan has got to go too...we need somebody with a brain at the helm now more than ever...

the general as AD? that is something i could get behind

I think that part of the reason Dan Dakich was brought back was to groom him into a head coach. I agree let Sampson coach tonight and then fire his ass tomorrow morning. I blame this on Rick Greenspan, you knew what you were getting when you hired him. Like getting a hooker that you knew had VD, it stings...

iu bball is done for the next 5 years at least...hopefully by the middle of the next decade, when the current 3rd and 4th graders are starting for iu, they will be back

hire scott drew or dane fife...preferably the former as he is more experienced at a higher level

Scott Drew has already cleaned up a bigger mess and turned a team around from some serious lows.

Keno Davis at Drake, maybe. Rob Jeter at Butler. Mark Few from Gonzaga. Thad Matta. Thad Matta. Thad Matta.

If Sampson AND his assistants committed these violations what happens? Do we have a staff of just Ray McCallum and Dan Dakich? I don't think I noticed those two names listed.

DC Hoosier — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 11:24:12 -0000

The black out is probably a name of a kid still under 18 and, therefore, a minor. I doubt if the Gordon's have the pull to just get a name redacted when the names of other IU commitments, such as Devin Ewbanks, appear on the report.

I'm usually one to give the benefit of the doubt to an accused person...but after reading the NCAA Allegations, HOLY SHIT! I would say this is the best scenario...allow Bill Belichek Jr. to coach his last game tonight so that there is some sort of normalcy for this big game...then tomorrow morning, KS cleans out his office and takes all of his Al Qeada laced cell phones and carries his happy cheatin ass to Foxboro to work for the Spygate Mastermind. If you fire him today, that would kill the team's focus for tonight...but 1st thing Thursday morning...BYE BYE Sampson and hello ??? only God knows who. But just about anyone will be an improvement over Bill Jr.

My guess is that was probably EJ's name and Eric Sr. didn't want his kid to be involved?

yup, give thad matta anything he wants, and don't take no for an answer.

Is it too early to start discussing possible head coach candidates? I really have no ideas. Who is out there? Who could we get? Are there big names out there who would want to take over the mess this program has become?
