Sampson has things in a mess at ou. Wondering what the outcome of the NCAA hearing in April will be for recruiting violations. He walks off and leaves the kids to suffer for the mess he made. Don't tell me he didn't know about Everetts problems. If he didn't he has lost control of his program, which is probably the case. Indiana didn't learn much from BK fiasco if they take on another problem. The talk sports shows in OKC have been buzzing with fans complaining that KS can't take them to the next level and he is more concerned about NCAA than he was about his coaching. Typical ou.

Maybe Assistant coach Bob Hoffman will take over. He used the be the head coach at UT Pan American in Edinburg and lead the Broncos to a 21-9 record in 2001.

Interesting hire by IU. The Hoosier boards are blowing up and it seems the majority, or at least the loudest posters, oppose the hire.

It is a shame that the kids are going to suffer of the consequences of Kelvin making too many phone calls to recruits. But, the school did turn themselves in (NCAA didn't know about it until the school called it in)--I am not saying that makes it ok...Don't get me started on NCAA violations of "other" schools ---many of which are much more severe than making too many phone calls to recruits.

Yes this will cost some recruits...but then KS was never a top notch recruiter, nor could he ever develop a solid defense...change is good in this case.
