Well IU got three years probation, but no death penalty. Mr Sampson has a 5 year term. That is not long enough. He should be thru with Div 1 NCAA basketball. He torched two programs in the same decade. And the idiots who hired this renegade should be thrown off a clift. Smudge AlumniHall and let a new era begin GO Hoosiers Love the new look, Brian |

actually IU did get the death penalty but unlike SMU or UK, IU administered it to themselves. |

Kicking a bunch of uncaring pot smokers off the team and firing incompetent officials. Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. IU had to do it. It's not like they did anything to themselves that circumstances didn't dictate. |

outside of Evansville's team plane going down - NO TEAM IN HISTORY IS OVERHAULING THEIR PROGRAM LIKE IU IS. its a self administered death penalty and not many schools would have had the nads to do it - especially at the elite level. you think Duke, Kansas, UNC would do what IU has done??? no fucking way. |

What nads did it take to kick off the uncaring players and shitty administrators ? The decision was made for you by Sampson and co. I agree you essentially got the death penalty and are starting over, but you had to. It's not like IU should get extra credit for dismantling a functioning, quality program with good players and coaches. The penalty you put on yourselves was the only option that made any sense. IU's self administered death penalty you refer to was implemented the day you hired Sampson, not after he left. |

Exactly. IU deserves maybe a little (but not much) credit for this supposed death penalty. But the death penalty will pay huge dividends a year from now without all of last year's cancers. And IU administration knew that before they did it. And the same goes for Tom Crean. He appears to be an excellent coach and respectable person, but let's stop the pity party that some people are throwing him. When he accepted this job, he knew what the terms were. He doesn't want anyone's sympathy. |

perhaps but tell that to fans of one of b-balls alltime best programs as they watch a grade school team endure a single digit win season. I realize turdue had 2 back to back single win season :rofl: but that was just a function of them being a sucky program and not having their program artificailly gutted. |

Purdue chose to bring in a coach with Purdue ties but little experience. It has worked out very well so far. IU chose to burn the bridges from the Knight days and bring in an outsider with good accolades. We shall see how well that works out by the end of next season. |

listen gutterball, turdue had no choice but to bring in some manure sniffer in Porkchop - they couldn't attract a name coach to that wasteland. they had to take whatever warm body they could. quit deluding yourself what IU guy was IU going to bring in, Isaiah Thomas? Damon Bailey? Mike Woodson? your posts get worse by the day. If that is even possible. |

UB, I've got to admit that Purdue got lucky with Painter, and if I could have placed a bet on whether Painter or Crean would have more success at Purdue and IU, I would have gone with Crean. Now it's difficult to say. Crean has better name recognition and tradition at IU, but Painter has a big head start at Purdue. Painter really needs to get to the Final Four in the next three years to keep his lead over Crean. |

I agree with Brum. Right is right, regardless of your motives. |
