Fool me once...fool me twice....Kelvin Sampson
So, what is the correct punishment here and do you think there is more to be uncovered?
Sampson, after getting in trouble with the NCAA for over 300 improper recruiting phone calls at Oklahoma violates his probation at Indiana with over 35 phone calls, including 10 impermissable 3-way calls. Basic Facts Doyel is being is indignant self DeCourcey calls out the NCAA Franschilla plays the stooge Some really extreme viewpoints I've seen all over. One Op-ed in the IndyStar calling for Sampson to be fired by Kravitz, Indiana supporter who has never liked Sampson. Some that say it isn't a big deal at all. |

I'm pretty sure in the world of college basketball recruiting, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Then Sampson found jobs at IU for many close to Gordon. That stuff is far uglier, but tougher to prove. |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree that is, but compliance departments generally do their jobs & coaches are aware not to break these small rules, especially if you have already self-reported yourself. It is the deeper, uglier stuff that is tough to prove and that coaches can often get away with. It's really silly for Sampson to be breaking the easiest things to be caught doing. |

I'm annoyed that Sampson keeps getting into trouble, he needs to get a better grasp of the rules obviously. What the hell is the NCAA thinking with these regulations? Sampson claims that the 3 way calls are just calls being transferred to him, basically that Recruits call an assistant or the office and want to talk to him so they get transferred to him. I'm all for playing by the rules but I can't for the life of me figure out why the NCAA cares about 3 way calls. |

IU/Sampson are doing a good job of spinning this by referring to their scheme as "three-way calling." It was more akin to a conference call, whereby an assistant would call a recruit, and then, sheerly by coincidence of course, Sampson would be on standby and ready to join the conversation. |

This isn't an issue of Kelvin the Undresser not grasping the rules, it's an issue of him intentionally dodging them. Bad Kelvin.
I still miss that guy, had he not left WSU when he did, and the players that left with him stayed, man, we would have ruled that season. |

[/ QUOTE ] So you can't have boosters + coach or players + coach or any kind of silly combination on the phone with the recruit. Also, because you have to track when coaches can't be speaking to the players. |
