Fool me once...

Kelvin Sampson should be fired immediately. Not because his offenses were overly egregious, because they weren't. In fact, like many of the NCAA's overly strict rules, the rule he broke was, in rational eyes, a minor infraction. He called some recruits too many times. Boo freaking Hoo.

Sampson should be fired because he is a moron. Seriously, he was already punished by the NCAA for infractions at his previous job, and upon taking this job he was warned that there is no place for such hijinks and shenanigans at Indiana. Not only does he go out and break rules despite this, but he breaks THE EXACT SAME RULES. He may be a quality basketball coach as his record indicates, but he is clearly a stupid, selfish individual.

Why is he selfish? Who knows what the punishment will be for this round of indiscretions, but if it in anyway prevents this guy...... From participating in the NCAA tournament, it will be a travesty. A player as talented as Eric Gordon needs to be displayed in front of the nation, for his benefit, and for the benefit of every basketball fan, college or pro, in the nation. Of course if he maintained his commitment to Illinois he would not have been in this situation...
