(Disclosure: I went to the University of Illinois and am not writing this column about Indiana Head Coach Kelvin Sampson because of the Eric Gordon saga. I could care less about Gordon’s decision, even though, it was a bad one. In one year at Indiana, Gordon won’t learn much under Sampson. In one year at Illinois, Bruce Weber would have improved his game. Weber is simply the better coach and the better person.)
Well look who’s at it again! Indiana Hoosiers Head Coach and perpetual scumbag Kelvin Sampson finds himself in the center of more recruiting violations, once again getting nabbed for making impermissible phone calls to recruits.
Sampson was tight-lipped this afternoon as reporters asked him about the 10 impermissible phone calls that he admitted making to IU basketball recruits. Amazingly, Sampson was found guilty of the same cheating prior to leaving Oklahoma for Indiana after the 2006 NCAA Tournament.
It’s very unfortunate that a guy like Sampson, who is liked by most of the national media because he is typically very accessible to them, continues to break the rules. College recruiting is as about as dirty of a business as there is, and Sampson is a king of filth.
