If I posted everything I have read and heard about the Sampson situation, I could make 50 posts a day. However, I was reading this morning's USA Today before class and came across this article in the sports section.
The most interesting parts of the article come from UConn's head basketball coach Jim Calhoun. Here are some of his comments.
"I'm not defending him," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said Tuesday. "What he did was dumb, by any stretch of the imagination. He broke the same rule, not once but twice, and he should suffer the consequences.
"But firing him? That's nuts. If some of the people speaking anonymously about him feel that negatively, let 'em attach their names. In our business, there's a difference between someone who breaks a rule and people who cheat - who use means that make me ashamed to be a coach - to get a recruit."
"I know Kelvin well enough," Calhoun added, "to know he's not one of those guys."
