Bobby Knightran a spotlessly clean program at Indiana University for decades. His successors-the black coach, Mike Davis, andNative American son, Kelvin Sampson, have nowblackened the reputation ofIU basketball with their failures on and off the court. Davis had success for one year with Coach Knight`s players and then totally screwed up the program, including a losing season. Sampson hasn`t done much better and has now seemingly positioned the program forNCAA punishment for rules infractions. The Hall of Fame coach, Bob Knight, left IU fans a legacy of decadesof success on the court and his student-athletes in the classroom, but now losers likeKelvin Sampson have turned IU`s Assembly Hall into a Hall of Shame. Shame on you, IU officials and all others connected with the school who ran off Coach Knight. Things haven`t gotten better since he was unceremoniously kicked out of town,have they? You`llregret it even more after the NCAA gets finished with you if the preliminary reports ofSampson`s transgressions areanything to go by. Probablyjust the tip of the iceberg....
I didn`t always agree withCoach Knight`sactions on the sidelines and at some pressconferences, but you can`t argue withhow his players turned out-other than Isaiah Thomas.And thisstoryis more proof of his greatness.
