KFAN was reporting that sources were saying Kelvin Sampson was fired.

I don't see how a guy gets hired and there are investigations into phone calls and then a year and a half later he's still doing it! He knows the rules. I think Indiana will can him in the next two weeks...they don't want to chance messing with their mojo and tournament chances. They want to win bad at Indiana, but not bad enough to cheat.

Sampson's a real piece of work the way it sounds. Good coach but apparently real arrogant or real stupid, not sure which. The consensus at our coffee table caucus earlier in the week was that he's toast. You're a basketball guru; what do you think the chances are that The General, after spending time in exile at Texas Tech, could return now that the guy who fired him is no longer there?

Bobby could easily return...he could be governor in Indiana.

Sampson is toast...he may have to resign just so this is taken care of sooner. He will be suspended and he definately coached his last game.

Indiana doesn't want to step on the NCAA's toes but want to rid the University of him...

Guru? sick.gif Far from it.

You're lobbing a softball here. Myles Brand ran him out and as Executive Director of the NCAA will advise against Knight going to any big program. There's a reason Knight was relegated to basketball purgatory in Lubbock and there won't be many takers for a guy his age and with his reputation. I think Knight may get another chance to coach again but at a small school. Guys that make mistakes but have huge amounts of history (Huggins, Sutton, and Knight for example) generally have to get back on their feet at small schools so it definately will take some time. If I'm Bob Knight it's not worth my time. I'd rather stay retired and only make the news when I hit someone with a load of 6 shot.

Knight stepped down what a day or two before the Sampson allegations came out. Coincidence?

It would be great for Indiana and great for college basketball if the General was brought back to where he belongs, coaching "Big Red". Personally I would love to see it and it would be a heck of a story.

There is something seriously wrong in this world when you can't just flat out fire a crooked bum like this. Why in the world does he get $750,000 to go away???????!!!!!!!

As an aside, I mentioned to my partner in the office on Monday that I thought Bobby Knight got wind of this from an old buddy/booster and made himself available. He didn't think so, but I still do...

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
