I'm not sure all the blame is on the coach. These players have been pretty nonchalant on the rebound and transition.

I think it's 70% our offense/30% shooting...I've never seen a team in love with dribbling the basketball like Tim Miles' teams. And unless you are flush with 5* talent capable of creating your own sho

We could only dream.  Would be a great hire. 

 

I am just asking. That is who we want?

 

Sampson played a role in the controversial recruitment of star player Eric Gordon, who signed with Indiana after reneging on an early verbal commitment to the University of Illinois. Sampson was criticized by fellow coaches for failing to communicate with Illinois coach Bruce Weber about the recruitment,[7] and some observers said that Sampson's recruitment of the verbally-committed Gordon was unethical.[8]

In addition to the Gordon incident, Sampson has been in the middle of a number of other controversies. Under Sampson's watch, Oklahoma was placed under a three-year investigation by the NCAA for recruiting violations. At the end of their investigation, the NCAA issued a report citing more than 550 impermissible calls made by Sampson and his staff to 17 different recruits. The NCAA barred Sampson from recruiting off campus and making phone calls for one year, ending May 24, 2007.[9]

Prior to the findings by the NCAA, Kelvin Sampson was the President of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), an organization that supports basketball coaches across the country. During his tenure the Ethics Committee of the NABC was formed to address the many problems with violations that college basketball faced going into the 2003 season. That very same Ethics Committee would later reprimand Kelvin Sampson as a result of the NCAA findings, placing him on probation for three years during which he would not be eligible to serve in any official capacity for the NABC, be considered for Coach of the Year honors or receive Final Four ticket privileges.[10]

As coach at Indiana in October 2007, Sampson again came under scrutiny for making impermissible phone calls. Despite being restricted from making any outbound recruiting phone calls, Sampson participated in approximately 10 conference calls with recruits that violate the terms of the sanctions levied against him by the NCAA. IU assistant Rob Senderoff (who has since announced his resignation) also made some 35 impermissible phone calls to recruits from his home. On February 8, 2008, the NCAA informed Indiana that Sampson had committed five "major" rules violations. The NCAA alleged that Sampson knowingly violated telephone recruiting restrictions imposed on him. More seriously, the NCAA also alleged that Sampson lied to IU and NCAA officials regarding his involvement in the impermissible calls.[11]

Indiana launched an internal investigation that school president Michael McRobbie said would take seven days. On February 14, 2008, ESPN reported that Sampson's status as coach of the Hoosiers would be decided on a "game-by-game basis.".[12] Fox Sports reported that Sampson was to be fired on February 22, 2008,[13] but later reports indicated that Sampson would be suspended without pay. Eventually it was announced that Sampson would resign, reaching a $750,000 settlement with Indiana. In return, Sampson agreed not to sue Indiana for wrongful termination. Assistant Dan Dakich was named as interim head coach for the rest of the season.[14]

According to many college basketball pundits, however, Sampson had virtually no chance of keeping his job once the allegations broke. Sports Illustrated college basketball columnist Seth Davis implied that Indiana officials had already decided Sampson was guilty, based on the fact that its internal investigation would only last a week. The NCAA had given Indiana 90 days to respond to the notice.[15] ESPN's Mark Schlabach suggested that Indiana wanted to look for a reason not to pay the remaining money he was owed on his contract, and also wanted to eliminate any chance of being sued. He also said that the only reason Sampson was allowed to continue coaching was because his contract didn't allow the school to suspend him immediately.[16] ESPN's Pat Forde said that Sampson's departure was "preordained" the moment the NCAA sent out its notice of allegations, and suggested that Sampson might never coach in Division I again.[17]

During a private meeting with the NCAA infractions committee on June 30, McRobbie apologized for hiring Sampson and called that decision a mistake. McRobbie said that Sampson betrayed his trust as Indiana's coach, and demonstrated that his hiring had been "a risk that should not have been taken."[18]

On November 25, 2008, the NCAA slapped Indiana with three years' probation for violations largely tied to Sampson's watch. It also imposed a five-year show-cause order on Sampson, meaning that any NCAA member school who wanted to hire Sampson while the order was in effect would have to impose sanctions on him unless it can "show cause" that Sampson has served his punishment. However, most NCAA members will not even consider hiring a coach with an outstanding show-cause order, so the show-cause effectively blackballed Sampson from coaching at the major-college level until 2013. A similar incident happened to Todd Bozeman, who was slapped with an eight-year show-cause order in 1996 and was unable to find work in the college ranks again until 2006. Senderoff, now head coach at Kent State, was hit with a three-year show-cause order.[19] When he was hired at Houston, Sampson became only the fourth coach to get a head coaching job at another school after receiving a show-cause (after Bozeman, Senderoff and Bruce Pearl).

In December 2008, Eric Gordon raised issues of drug use on the Indiana team, stating that some players were abusing drugs and that this led to the disintegration of the team, and that Sampson tried to stop it, but did not as he was focused on winning

Yes. In a heartbeat. He’s doing just fine at Houston.  Pearl is doing just great at Auburn.

I’m blaming it on Barry Collier...

There is plenty of blame to go around.  Losing Jacobson and Morrow as transfers killed our depth.  But, we could play what if’s all day.

Well let's not go THAT far. Even Miles' worst teams could get at least 1 win in the next 11.

 

(But that's not saying much.)

I hope “many” is more than one.  Currently, any win will look good.

YEP. yep. yep. They have to do better. This isnt a great afternoon activity exp, and keep in mind that Nebraska basketball fans are used to misery...

I mean, if it's autumn, summer or spring, I'm on the bike, on the course ... doing something else. But it's negative 6000 degrees wind chill here in god-forsaken Iowa, so I watched THAT.

Was there today up in the 300 sections. You see it all from up there. Bad offense, lack of effort, no one rebounding. Time to blow it up and start from the bottom. Some of the underclasmem will probably stay and the right coach can probably keep Arop and green a part of this class. I don’t think he would be interested but give ty lue a call. 

 

Also whoever said that Allen looks like he’s checked out in previous games? I saw it today. Not saying he’s transferring necessarily but he’s checked out

No Kelvin Sampson. My feeling may not be popular, but if you really do have to cheat to win, then I'll take losing. NU is my BA alma mater, and the reputation of my diploma matters to me. 

 

We do this clean or not at all. 

 

 

He made phone calls.

The fact that Auburn has been relevant for a few years now, and in a conference where the majority of fans at over half those schools could care less and don't show up to the games, is astounding to me.

Hire the guy from UNO.

1.  Already a Nebraska employee

2.  Always has competitive teams

3 .  Playing for sole possession of first place in conference tonight

4.  Good chance at being the only team from Nebraska in NCAA this year

5. Probably can get him cheap

That's also a coach who's record at Omaha is under 0.500.
