Though I'm tardy, I want to offer my heartiest kudos to this report. PostmanE regularly offers, IMO, easily the most incisive and well-expressed analysis of Hoosier basketball of all the commentators and reporters.

Has anyone noticed that a Detroit sportswriter is already calling for the hiring of Sampson at the University of Detroit Mercy? You talk about a group of sick puppies, sportswriters that is.

It's a pic from last year's game in Evanston. Everyone love Rod.

Sorry about that. I guess I should have posted a disclaimer before telling anyone to go read it.

Same could be said for AJ Ratliff at the top (#20)! A stock photo from last year's game I presume. That's ok ITH'ers, we forgive you.

I wasn't talking about about Loco Wogo's article, my two-cents worth was about the lead article above written by Postman E.

Did you not watch the game!? Dude you totally missed it.. Rod Wilmot came out of the stands in full uniform and started playing along side DJ and others!!!

After reading the article I conclude this guy is only interested in hearing himself attempt cute, pithy, semi humorous phrases w/o a lot of facts or real substance. This is easy for idiots like him..........he does not need to leave his desk or actually know anything to be a "journalist".

Not even 577 impermissable phone calls got OK a post season ban that I know of. Majerus lost 4 scholarships but no post season ban. He knows nothign of the NCAA history on post season bans.

He passes over key facts like IU already penalized itself severely AND removed the coach. I DO think Sampson had pretty high values for grades, drugs, on time behaviour , high level recruiting , winning etc. His programs have been cleaner than UCONN or Memphis , Cincy etc when it comes to criminals.

We can all hate the situation and anyone who abetted it . KS must suffer the consequences but the cheap shots make me sick

Oh, and as for just letting IU fans decide…I don't know about that. Read the Star's comments on the possible replacements for Sampson. I feel sorry for some of the idiots out there who don't have a clue. Almost.

Or better yet…you and I could start a business and do these coaching “searches”. It can't be too tough. UNC paid a lot of money to get the name “Butch Davis” when Butch Davis was already on their short list for football.

Woj is a moron. I love how these journalists will climb on their moral high horse whenever there's a chink in the armor of any high-profile program. They're still getting lots of mileage about Notre Dame after parting ways with Willingham. I'm guessing this will be ridden to death for a couple of years at least, and it'll be largely the same people playing the same song over and over again.

I'm just curious…Jay Bilas cited 116 other phone violations in last year's tourney field. Where are the ESPN people calling for the heads of THOSE coaches?

Jerry I would agree……..I just sure as hell hope Greeny gets it right this time….a local broadcaster here in Indy recommended IU save there money from hiring ICE miller to do a search and just have a handful of IU fans give some names….

So get us in a room with some pizza, and let us put together a list and save some danm money geez……
