"At its height, 9,000 to 10,000 people have died in a month and there are now nearly 2.5 to 3 million people in internally displaced persons camps. It's going on right now as we sit in this room.

Jordan River Forum: Kelvin Sampson edition

By Alyson Brodsy and Jordan River Forum · Friday, March 31,2006 11:35 a.m.

Is Rick Greenspan serious in hiring Kelvin Sampson? What the hell is wrong with IU these days? I cannot believe ol' Rick Greenspan's choice for head of the basketball team that is so dear to all our hearts. I have an idea: let's hire someone plagued with problems and who, in my eyes, is not the caliber coach I feel we were all looking for. I myself would have liked to see Marquette coach Tom Crean here, but I never imagined Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson. Isn't it time we do to ol' Rick what Myles Brand did to Bob Knight (Indiana's lowest point)? I am personally in favor of firing Greenspan.
