With Coach after, coach after, troubled coach there is a lot more wrong than the coach at IU! It is the hiring committe that needs to be fired first!

While this is related to what happened months ago, the NCAA investigated it further and found that Sampson was lying to them even then about how much he cheated.

But it frustrates me when I see the lionizing of Coach Knight. Yes, he is a basketball genius. Yes, he won 3 championships and ran an above board program. But he probably should have been charged with assault multiple times. He did not act unethically--he acted illegally!
