What’s odd about this report is that nowhere in the entire ten-page document is Kelvin Sampson actually named. For some reason, the NCAA repeatedly referred to Sampson as “Former Head Men’s Basketball Coach” at Indiana University. The only other identifier is the infractions report number (287), so how can we be certain that they’re imposing these restrictions on Sampson? What if Bob Knight tries to return next season? Or Branch McCracken? Everett Dean? Will they too have to carry the weight of these penalties as a “Former Head Men’s Basketball Coach” as well?
All kidding aside, let’s all agree to not talk about the Current Assistant Basketball Coach for the Milwaukee Bucks ever again. Or at least until some snivelling school desperate for Ws gets it in their heads that, “hey, we can hire a second-rate F4 coach for peanuts and all we have to do is track his phone calls! We can do that!” RTC sets the over/under on a collegiate job offer for the CABC of the Bucks at two years (2011).
