He was doing wrong by his players, de-emphasizing academics. That's what turned me against him. You don't want your basketball team being a bunch of low-lifes.
Should we have self-reported?
- Thread starter Let 'er Fly
- Start date
If they hired Samscum back I would quit following the team until he left. As a fan I've got self respect. Calvin doesn't deserve our support for what he did to our program.
Disagree, any “GOOD” coach would never allow the need for a DD to clean their house
Correct me if I am wrong but didnt we just lose scholarship numbers and that was the punishment? We gave ourself the death penalty by totally cleaning house and hiring Crean. I felt like we could have went a numerous different ways. People will argue that Crean was the best we could get but look at UL, they hired a great coach with all of their mess. This happened 10 years ago, its time to move on and get behind our current coach and program. If he doesnt get it done soon then we will move on and Archie knows it.
Will people please quit with the “death penalty” nonsense? We lost ONE scholarship for ONE year. Again...ONE.
The death penalty was hiring Tom Crean then Fred Glass. Hire a clown and the circus will move in. We didn’t get the death penalty.

Phone calls weren't the reason why Sampson was fired. Sampson thought he was untouchable because we were winning and wouldn't get the team under control when told to reign them in.
There's a reason why Eric Gordon moved off campus second semester. Could it be to get away from the team?

Yes what a great supportive school we have. Add to list of other cultural actions/attitudes towards the main revenue sports vs successful programs
IU needs an energency influx of shooters and post players that can actually play and contribute immediately next season..
if he is, he isn't doing it with 5 star recruits. watch out for houston this week
I would go with UNC's legal team. U of L's legal advice cost them a a ton of vacated games, including 2 final fours and 1 championship. And, they haven't even gotten to the FBI situation just yet.
do you have some insider info? wondering because you said sampson was told to reign the players in and gordon moved off campus. very unusual for a freshman. it all sounds plausible. have heard gordon had a problem with the rampant drug use amongst the team. never from a source close to the team
One of my friends from Washington said that IU lost Tyler Zeller because of Calvin. Leadership is very important because it filters down. If your coach is shady so will the players because like attracts like.
I know his name. I call him Calvin Samscum until he apologizes to the IU fanbase for what he did to our program.
OK, now if you get too political then this thread will get pulled. You want that? Voting for the other person was even a worse decision.
You’re a supposed Christian who refers to a fellow human being as “scum”? Perhaps you need to re-examine those parts of the Bible that address both forgiveness and compassion.
Wow! You have been watching too many CNN and MSNBC opinion pieces that masquerade as news. Get some balance in your perspectives.
Trump is pro life. That issue is very important to me because the most precious and defenseless in our society and how we treat them says a lot about us. It's also the snuffing out of life that should at least have a chance to be lived. Clinton is for abortion. Has she slammed the New York State Legislature who applauded when they passed their law saying abortion is legal up until the day of birth? Has she slammed Ralph Naurtham who is the Governor of Virginia who said that abortion can take place after birth? He actually said that they would keep the child, the CHILD comfortable until the mother and doctors decided on what they wanted to do.
Trump’s latest budget wants to cut $3.5 billion from programs that provide nutrition to pregnant women and infants. That isn’t pro-life. What you are is pro-fetus. You don’t give a damn what happens to that baby once it is born. Late term abortion is extremely rare and only happens if the life of the mother is at risk or the fetus has a fatal abnormality. A decision is made in consultation with a physician. The government has no business interfering in situations like this. And infanticide is already illegal. What Northam was talking about is a situation where a newborn has a fatal birth defect and will only live a short time.
Not sure you want to go anywhere near UofL’s legal team. We self reported and investigated the stripper gate stuff to the full extent, and even preemptively held ourselves out of the 2016 NCAA tournament, but that sure didn’t help us keep the 2013 NCAA title.
As far as the FBI shoe company stuff is concerned, we did immediately fire Pitino and Jurich. I hope our legal team is better when we go to court and argue that we don’t owe Pitino $38 million because we fired him for cause.
But, until then, you’ll refer to him as “scum”. That’s the antithesis of Christianity. You should practice what you preach.
The actions of the NCAA tells schools to never self-report. It's much like politics, lie and deny. If you do get caught, you play dumb.
I think getting rid of the one and done garbage would go a long way towards cleaning up college basketball.

Sorry that was NOT towards you.
It was the man that is a walking talking billboard for the alt-right.
I quoted your post with VPM's post in yours. It only posted your comment. I meant to reply to VPM as he is a cliche of all that is wrong with the idea of being a holy person that has the dumbest politics known to man. I say far-right because he is not conservative.
