Interesting Athletic article on Kelvin Sampson and Indiana (Paywall).

There were 19 Fs on playersā€™ academic records in early April of that 2007-ā€™08 season; they would eventually cut that number to 11. A couple of players were strongly suspected of dealing drugs. There were roughly 30 flunked drug tests throughout the season. There were several thousands of dollars in unpaid rent. And thatā€™s only part of the story.

Impermissible phone calls might have been the least of Sampsonā€™s problems as he led a once-proud program into the ethical abyss.

ā€œAn athletic disaster,ā€ Crean once called it. ā€œA greater challenge than Iā€™d ever imagined.ā€

Why not? I feel like it was pretty neutral. Donā€™t think there was anything too spicy.

I guess this guy isnā€™t ready for Rick Pitino, thenā€¦

They should both hang banners. What an accomplishment when you really think about it.

If Stevens has turned dow IU, you better believe that Steve Kerr and Greg Popovich are waiting in line for the job.

I can confirm that both guys have been to Indiana at least once. Might be an even better fit than Stevens really.

Sometimes when a candidateā€™s name comes up I just like to get a little savor of the person, make up my mind about some of the intangibles on my own. Keith Smart ā€˜presents well,ā€™ Iā€™d say:

Big Ten- woof. Overrated once again. At least Wisco is winning.
