Dead Man Walking

Kelvin Sampson

Kelvin Sampson’s days as head coach of Indiana basketball are numbered due to NCAA recruiting violations. This buffoon decided to break the same NCAA rules he previously broke while head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners. Sampson made over 100 illegal phone calls to recruits while he was still under restrictions from the 500 or so illegal calls he made while at Oklahoma. I have to admit I’m very shocked Sampson hasn’t already received the boot by Indiana, but it’s only a matter of time. I can imagine Indiana fans won’t stand for a frickin cheater standing on the sidelines representing their University.

On a side note, there appears to be a ground swell of supporters calling for Bobby Knight to return as head coach. What??? This has to be a few old boosters trying to revive the past, but it won’t work guys. He can’t recruit anymore and in all reality isn’t that good of a coach these days. Indiana must come to the realization that Sampson does need to be fired, but then you start fresh rather than bringing back the General.

Comments

  1. Do I hear Steve Alfords phone ringing? Or will Indiana have the stones to hire Bobby Knight back. AND.. was all this known when Knight retired? According to some sources this has been known for over 4 months.

  2. I like the Steve Alford point Bruins1! Thanks for the comment.

  3. The Knight comeback would be insane, but I dont think this will happen b/c of the way Miles Brand & Indiana adminstration did BK last time around. Alford is a very likely candidate — I thought he would’ve been there last time around but they opted for a repeat fellon.

    Why not Isaiah Thomas?

  4. if they want squeaky clean, HERBIE SENDEK can be had for the right price…wont win big, but will compete cleanly….well, sometimes compete cleanly….well, cleanly for sure…but sometimes wont compete all that well…..of course, if youre playing a rival, probably will roll over about 10 min in…..but rolling over on a CLEAN court makes for no dirty uniforms!

  5. How bout Steve Lavin? He spends more time at Big 10 games than Kelvin does on the phone.

  6. Wolfman – I can’t quit laughing at your comments. One of the funniest all-time here at SportsUnderground.com. Thanks for the laughs.

  7. I think Lavin could do the trick Bruins1, but I’m not sure he wants to leave the creampuff life he currently leads.
