Who’s the boss

Kelvin Sampson — on way out at IU?

Will he stay or will he go? Most people are saying that he is out. The team is throwing a monkey wrench in the works by making unreasonable demands.

Administration needs some gonads

University of Indiana has a choice, they can either be adults and run the program, or they can let the students run it.

“Player turmoil” is allegedly rippling through the IU team. It appears that they are demanding that Sampson be their coach or they get to select his successor. Just more proof that athletes are spoiled brats.

The source said that in meeting with Hoosiers players on Thursday night, IU athletic director Rick Greenspan informed them of the likelihood that Sampson would no longer be their head coach — either as a result of a termination or suspension Friday.

The players’ response, according to the source? “If Sampson isn’t our coach, we’ll quit.” The source said this was the unified sentiment amongst the whole team, but was first expressed by the Hoosiers’ senior leadership in a smaller meeting earlier Thursday. Greenspan and the players reached a stalemate in the second meeting, with the athletic director reportedly asking them if “the whole season should just be canceled.”

There is not need to reach an accommodation. They either go with program of they need to get out of IU. It’s clear that these players have absolutely NO clue what is going on.

The source also told SI.com select players have indicated they might be willing to soften their stance on quitting if a key change was made to Greenspan’s proposed plan of succession. The school reportedly wants to anoint IU assistant Dan Dakich as interim head coach for the remainder of the season, but the players’ preferred choice is assistant Ray McCallum, who played a significant role in recruiting much of IU’s current roster. Dakich was named an assistant coach on Oct. 31 — days after former IU assistant Rob Senderoff resigned his post as a result of the NCAA’s investigation on Sampson and his staff — and did not recruit any current IU players.

Crybabies. If you don’t like the coach, too bad. You came to IU based up the cheating of a coach you came in with.
