You can listen to the interview here, but I’ve also transcribed for your convenience below:

Barreiro: Let’s finish up with this. You had a frustrating preseason, you’ve got a NCAA investigation that’s still kind of sitting out there. The people I’ve talked to in Bloomington, having graduated from Indiana I try to stay somewhat connected there, have some concern about what happens to you at the end of the season given the investigation. I know you lost a coach before the season began, the three-way calling, whatever you want to call it, are you worried about your own future?

Sampson: I’m just, I’m worried about the game tomorrow night.

Barreiro: (laughs) That’s it?

Sampson: (pause) We play Minnesota at 8 o’clock tomorrow night, right?

Barreiro: Yeah, I think that’s correct, late start for ESPN.

Sampson: That’s about as far as my worries go.

Barreiro: Thanks Kelvin, we appreciate the time.

Sampson: Click!

I mean seriously Kelvin, can you not issue a standard response to this question? Do you really feel the need to become defensive and finish a radio interview without saying “no problem” or “thanks” because someone asked you about a situation that you caused yourself? This issue isn’t going away. It’s going to continue until a resolution is reached and when you get to the NCAA Tournament, you better be prepared to be asked about it a million times.
