February 14, 200818 yr If the school doesn’t cut the cord with Sampson Friday, it is possible that he could gain traction among fans via victories (the Hoosiers host Michigan State Saturday, and Purdue Tuesday) despite his misconduct.
February 14, 200818 yr I saw these reports circulating a few hours ago. Bottom line, the guy was on probation and clearly violated it just a few short months into it.
February 14, 200818 yr You just know that a certain recently retired coach has a little extra spring in his step this weekend.
February 14, 200818 yr So what's the game plan? Promote an assistant to head coach and let it ride until the season is over? Ban yourself from postseason play? Send Eric Gordon to Kentucky?
February 14, 200818 yr Assuming this comes to fruition, it will be a pretty sad ending to the Sampson era at IU.
February 14, 200818 yr Assuming this comes to fruition, it will be a pretty sad ending to the Sampson era at IU. It will probably be paralleled, depending on the punishment leveled, to the Sutton era at UK.
February 14, 200818 yr I doubt they'll be that hard on IU after all they did investigate and he lied to them. Maybe some sort of ban on Sampson coaching on the D1 level as Claude Bassett.
February 14, 200818 yr Assuming this comes to fruition, it will be a pretty sad ending to the Sampson era at IU. Is it surprising, though?
February 14, 200818 yr Is it surprising, though? Given his history, no. It really makes you wonder how stupid this guy is to risk his job this short into his contract. Not that it would be right, but you could see something like this happening four or five years down the road, but for as short of a time he has been there, it more shows his lack of care for the kids he coaches.
