Sampson announced as new IU basketball coach

After the total shock has wore off, I really like this guy. At first I was uneasy about the grad rates, then I thought, "Wait. This is Oklahoma after all." Another thing about those grad rates, JUCO players don't count. And from what I hear, there were QUITE a few playing for Sampson over the years. He has had 9 straight 20 win seasons. Heck, IU hasn't had one since 2002. And that was only because it went deep into the NCAA tourney. I'm excited to see his brand of basketball. I hear it is a motion offense with a very stringent D. Hopefully, it won't take the team almost a whole season before they start to gel (like Calloway this year). Top priorities are to bring this team together, recruit Indiana HS players hard, and bring the fanbase together.
