Both get out of control…but lately we've been seeing much more positive results from EJ than Jamarcus…he's trying to do too much and he's mental mistakes are a result of mental breakdowns, not attempting to penetrate the defense…etc…

And yes, it's a lot easier to forgive a guy who hits from anywhere on the court, gets to the line and hits as many free throws as he does…that's just our nature.

I wish he made better choices, but I say keep Sampson until the end of the year and let DJ have one year that he has a chance to be successful. He has given too much too this program to lose his coach(again) because IU wants to save face. I don't support Sampson's actions but I feel our player deserve a chance. DJ did put trust in our program and university and deserves a chance to relish in the glory that was created by his play and not Sampson's phone calls.

He may not have scored up until that point but he has complete confidence he will knock down the free throws (which he then does).
