Scot Skiles spent time in jail for smoking pot. I doubt if he will be considered for the next coaching position.

According to Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press, Scott Skiles will be the next IU coach.

Agree 100%. The lowest he'd go would be 7th or 8th.

Gordon is not going 35th in the draft, and will not be drafted after any of those three guys.

I had pretty much the same thoughts while watching the game. I began to think, “You know, these aren't _really_ major infractions, it's just the NCAA being a bunch of pricks.” Which is true, I still think, but Sampson still broke the rules.

And now I'm torn even more. Ugh. I think when I saw him hugging the players and showing all that emotion and then classily coming up to Izzo and shaking hands and talking (I know they're old friends) I was like “Man, can he somehow turn this around?”

Still…he knew the rules, and he should have followed them.

He's be on that "name it after Bob Knight" kick for years now, pretty much ever since they took the interim tag off Davis. And Vitale never talks about the game in front of him.

But, I agree. Give it a rest already, Dickie V. Talk about how awesome Gordon was, talk about how big the bench was, talk about how important DJ's knee is going to be over the next seven games...whatever. Give the public crucifixion of Greenspan and Sampson a rest from time to time.

I'll be interested in seeing what Lavin and Musberger have to say during the Purdue game. I'm Mush-mouth will be in the same vein as Vitale, but Lavin seems to have a pretty level head on his shoulders.

IU should hire Digger Phelps as interim coach.

The win loast night helped restore some pride in me about the program and think again about KS. Too bad Hubert Davis was not allowed to finish his alternative view last night. Quality guy he , he moved on theB-ball instead of the soap opera.

In addition to coaching Tony Bennett was also the 35th player chosen in the NBA '92. Gordon will go lower at this rate since I can name 4 freshman better not counting upperclassmen like COllison, Chalmers , Augustyne etc

As a hoosier alumn watching the game 700 miles away in a packed new york city bar full of other iu fans i can tell you that everyone there was just as passionate and torn as those inside assembly hall. In the pure college basketball realm, the points have been touched on, he can coach and he can recruit. He could have ended his coaching career at IU, become a savior of sorts for a school with a fan base that rivals none, I want to hate the man but I can't because ultimately what he did to school and the fans will pale in comparison to what he's done to himself. We will bounce back from this no doubt, im not sure he ever will, and last night only serves as evidence that if he ever does reemerge no situation he can be placed in will be better than the one he's on the verge of losing
