He would have lost at home against a Florida team that in turn was blown out on their home court by a craptacular LSU team were it not for Kalekas' brain fart with the back court violation (arguably, not his fault, as the pass came to him). Still. Stallings is not a good coach and Vanderbilt is not a great program by any stretch of the imagination. Ugh, don't get me started again on how lousy a hire Kevin Stallings would be.

What they fail to realize is that he is 6 inches taller than anyone else on the opposing team...and when he took the ball inside, he got destroyed by a 5'10 point guard (who's a FRESHMAN by the way!).

You'll see him on the Indiana Elite AAU squad with D. Thomas next year. If there is a better frosh high school player in the state of Indiana, I have yet to see him. What a stud! Keep him on your IU radar for 2012. There's also another outstanding frosh out of Fort Wayne that plays for Bishop Dwenger...he's 6'7" and is agile, coordinated, and works his BUTT off! Big Red Tony Springmann...the best part is...he's not done growing! His mom's a Notre Dame alum but I don't think he has any allegiances to the Irish...he'd be a great signing down the road.

Because he lied! I don't think the phone calls were that big of a deal, but lying about them IS! If skirting the rules does not convince you of the character of a coach, then being a liar MUST! I truly believe the remaining staff after Sampson is gone can keep this team playing well.<br>On another note, I am liking Kevin Stallings more and more for the next coach. JMV had him on Friday and Kevin said that he thought there were too many IU faithful who would not allow an x-Purdue assistant to coach the Hoosiers. Sorry guys, but if the guy is a good coach, runs a nice offense, defense, and a clean program... WHO CARES WHERE HE COMES FROM! Bob Knight was an x-Ohio State player and while that is not our arch rival Purdue, it is a fellow Big Ten competitor. I am looking for a good coach with some national name recognition... if an x-Purdue assistant fits the bill, let's bring him in.
