The fate of a crooked coach

Indiana University Coach Kelvin Sampson

Indiana University athletic director Rick Greenspan met with basketball players late Thursday at Assembly Hall, but it’s not known whether he revealed the fate of their coach, Kelvin Sampson.

Sampson is accused of knowingly participating in impermissible telephone calls and later of lying to IU and NCAA investigators. Sampson has denied knowingly providing misinformation. The NCAA detailed five major rules violations in the report, and university President Michael McRobbie commissioned Greenspan to do a seven-day investigation.

I’m not sure what I.U. anticipated since Sampson had been in trouble before for the same thing.

I believe that coach Sampson should lose his job and should not be allowed to coach an NCAA team again.  If an attorney were disbarred, they would not be allowed to practice law, right?

Why should this coach be above the rules that he knew existed?

Some students were interviewed and see his offenses as nothing above a "little white lie" but to me a clear impression should be sent to everyone — that you can’t skirt the rules and get away with it.
