Indiana Men's Basketball Escapes Harshest Sanctions

Very disappointing with Sampson, and now with Crean

It is sad to see what has happened to a once proud basketball program. Sampson should never have been hired, especially since he got in trouble at Oklahoma (for the same things.

Now, under Crean, it is a big joke. Those kids he is putting out there should not be on a major college program. The players he is playing now are like a sad joke. Taber is no more than a 12th man, and the other leftover is not as good as several of the players at the HPER.

After watching IU lose like they are, it is as if Crean is losing on purpose - sending those kids out there that should not be starting, more or less playing at this level. Come on, look at the games and those players out there on the court.

There are a lot of better players that they could have gotten to play this season. Really sad.

Sampson should really be ashamed of what he has done to a proud program.

They made improper phone calls...

What a joke. You'd think that they paid recruits or gave them cars like Michigan, or allowed them to cheat on coursework like Minnesota. Complete silliness.

Oh, for the good old days

Love him or hate him, nothing like this would have happened with Bobby Knight at the helm. Coach Knight was a straight shooter in the mold of Michigan's great football coach, Bo Schembechler - not always ideal from a public relations point of view, but nobody could EVER accuse either one of them of cheating.
