Kelvin Sampson's Mistake

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=gXgbCtOEzGQ - Indiana President's Statement

Kelvin Sampson is the former head coach of Indiana University. He was the coach until earlier this year NCAA officials found out about his extra phone calls used in recruiting. NCAA only allows so many calls during recuiting and Kelvin Sampson over did it. The problem with this is that this is not his first time being caught. He got in the same type of trouble at Oklahoma and that is the reason he got fired from over there and now he did it again and got fired here. Kelvin told ESPN he did not do it this time, but ESPN pretty much told him it is almost impossible to believe that considering this is his second offense for the samething. Indiana University after finding this out offered Kelvin Sampson a $750,000 buyout and Kelvin Sampson accepted, Dan Dakich then took over as interim head coach. ESPN said the other day that is sad that he did that because he had a great team while sitting tied for the Big Ten lead with Purdue and Wisconsin. He had his team well on there way to a tournament bid with good potential and possibly a Big Ten championship. They said he ruined a great thing and I agree considering his team was young and had potential to be good for not just this year or the next, but for years to come. Kelvin Sampson really messed up and he is paying for it now, while he is looking for a new job it not only is going to be had after messing up like this, but he is not going to be handed a team with the potential he lost, he will have to rebuild and create that team all over again, that is when and with whoever he gets signed.
