« Rumor Alert: After one-week investigation, Sampson suspension likely | Home | IU President will address media at 3PM presser »

By Alex | February 15, 2008

Once again there is no shortage of reading material on the Web this morning. I’ve gathered the best for your convenience. Enjoy.

IU plans new probe of Sampson (The Indianapolis Star)
Analysis: What it all means (The Indianapolis Star)
Recruit, prospect show concern (The Indianapolis Star)
Elston’s eligibility not compromised (The Indianapolis Star)
Fire Sampson, ignore Knightheads (Jay Mariotti of the Chicago Sun Times)
Officials to investigate Sampson (Indiana Daily Student)
Sampson puts Hoosiers in a hole (Dan Wetzel of Yahoosports.com)
Izzo will wait and see on Sampson (Greenandwhite.com)
We might as well talk about Knight returning to IU (Eric Crawford of the Louisville Courier-Journal)
Looming Indiana opening could open door for Isiah Thomas (New York Daily News)
The fans lose when players, coaches cheat (Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press)
Indiana officials would be wise to remove Sampson (Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
McRobbie will hold press conference (The Hoosier Scoop)
A matter of days (Hoosiers Insider)

A couple of quick observations: First, the Indy Star’s coverage of this story has been nothing short of outstanding. Second, the New York Daily News must be crazy. That is all.

Isaiah as coach? That headline scared the crap out of me. I would rip up my Hoosier Nation member card if that happened. I do not need to read such nonsense this early in the morning.

Ok to make myself feel better and look ahead......here is my early list of coaches I would like IU to consider.....

1. Anthony Grant-VCU: Billy Donavan guy, young and can recruit nationally. Would have been the coach at Florida if Billy D left......

2. Scott Drew- Baylor: Indiana guy, good coaching lineage, can build a program, and works hard.

3. Thad Matta-OSU: It doesn't hurt to ask and I think he would consider it...OSU is still a football school.

4. Dan Dakich-Indiana Guy-Played here, coached here, and I think he understands what Indiana basketball means. Good Indiana ties. A Knight Descendant but far enough removed from RMK to relate to today's player....

5. Chris Collins-Duke Asst.: Coach K guy , young, can recruit nationally, and has good links in the Midwest having played h.s. in Illinois.

6. Steve Alford: New Mexico: IU guy....and you know the rest......cares too much about IU to allow it to fail. The fan base stays in tack cause no matter what we love steve. Success at Iowa could transfer better at IU with better talent....

I thought about Kevin Stallings, but I can't get past he is a Purdue guy and I don't want that held over my IU head..........this may be anal but it is what it is....

my only concern is that Dakich's name was listed in the allegations...i'm not sure to what extent he was involved. Other than that, I'm diggin your list.

alford wasn't qualified in 2006 and isn't qualified now. he would never win here and i think hiring him would be an absolute disaster. as for matta, i doubt he would leave what he has built already at ohio state. plus, have you seen their 2009 and 2010 recruiting classes? unbelievable.

i really like your top two choices though, especially drew. he has done a great job so far under impossible circumstances at baylor, a basketball program that was on life support just a few years ago. those duke assistants are almost impossible to pry away from coach K, but i think collins is worth a look as well.

Kevin Stallings is also a perenniel underachiever. It's nice to beat up on Eastern Tennessee St and UNC-Wilmington in a down year, but I think we've seen what happens when you play a per-conference schedule made up of some of the finest high school teams in the land.

Here's some more names:

1. Keno Davis - Drake (Big Ten Ties - obviously)

2. Rick Pitino (may wanna take another chance at a real program)

3. Tom Creen - Marquette (I still have a man crush on this guy as a coach)

4. Mike Brey - Notre Dame (seems to have a pretty steady program at a football school, huh?)

5. Randy Bennett - St. Mary's (tough conference to build a program in with Gonzaga stealing everyone but he's been successful and runs a tight ship!)

I thought about Brey, but he turned down NC State, so I'm going to guess he's happy in Notre Dame. Granted, IU is a much, much, much better program than NC State could ever hope to be, but still, he seems pretty set.

For the dumbasses at NYDN...I got a few words for you...
1. CBA
2. Toronto Raptors
3. and this is probably the most obvious....Steve Francis, Stephon Marbury, and any other overpriced, underachieving NY Knick!

They should have their jounalism priviliges revoked for printing that retarded article!

I think they just want Zeke out of New York so badly that they'll do anything to get rid of him. In a day and age where people seem to think every alumni coach will turn into Gary Williams and not Matt Doherty, they probably see the troubles at IU as a way to get Isaih out of New York.

Hey, for fun, could you guys open up something where we could post our opinions on a possible future coach at IU? I still like Rick Majerus (St. Louis), Mark Few (Gonzaga), and Tony Bennett (Wash St)! That's if the sanctions don't scare off major names. If we get hit hard then nobody will want to come here! Then it's maybe Robert Montgomery Knight!!!

Kelin is usually pretty smart and I like his list of coaches plus M Few , except leaving off Tony Bennett of WSU and Jay Wright of Villanova is a huge oversight. Maybe add Seth Miller of Xavier or Gillespie of KU who has not signed his contract yet.

I hope we can find a way to clean up this mess adn keep KS but it does not feel good now.

Coaches to avoid like the plague : Isaiah, Knight, Alford, O"Brien, Davis, Treloar

Did they? Or did they just use this search firm which produced Sampson's name and Greenspan decided that was it? I remember Few's name floating around, but at the time didn't he still have Morrison and was thinking of a run to the Final Four?

I agree Nick I would like to think about something like the next coach.......

Would we want Gillespie? I don't want a Larry Brown type of thing.....good coach though...

I don't know why those duke guys just stay on the sidelines so long...amaker got away.

My question to everyone is....DO we want a fairly young guy who will be here for a long time or take a season proven coach for 5-10 years......I say go young or fairly young.....

Johnny Dawkins is the heir-apparent to K, so that's why he's around. I thought Collins was a potential for Illinois State after last season. I might be wrong. I think he's just waiting for the exact right job to come along. IU might be it.

But, on the other hand, when you're suckling at the golden teat of prosperity that is Duke basketball, do you really want to get away? You know K has those guy's backs when it comes to money and deals and everything, so why leave a good thing?

I thought of a couple more possibilities. How about Todd Licklighter (i didn't feel like looking up the spelling) from Iowa. I know he's in the Big 10 but it's definitely a step up and he's been in the state. And another guy I think is always looking for that next exciting move is Bruce Pearl at Tennessee. Tennessee is a football school and always will be and he knows that. He may consider a move to a basketball school and somehow I think he would like the challenge of a program in turmoil. He seems like an ego guy but a good coach and recruiter!!!
