DISQUS

northwestern won

lol....why doesn't anybody suggest Butler's coach?

Norm Ellenberger!

they could have the jerky boys running the show if we win the whole damn thing...i wouldn't have a problem

well there is a good chance that this kid will only play one year....miami is nice weather and rutgers is closer to home I believe plus they have a pretty good gaurd. Why do kids like beasley and mayo end up at usc or kansas state. Recruiting is a bitch. We probably have a tuff time getting players because of all the bs in the last 10 years.

whats bam

please ebanks if you come it will take away so much pain

its all about money when it comes down to it......ks got his money....Iu gets their money from reveneu and boosters i'm sure.....i want some money....I was a fan long before any of these people were involved (except dan dakich) somebody needs to pay me

get dish network or direct tv you'll have every game

tracy smith's dad cuts my hair

don't you have an illinois forum to go to and talk about your last loss and your upcomming loss? Win a few national championships before you start your bs. Oh yea we beat north carolina when we wond our FORTH national tittle

who are we getting after dakich

Who exactly are we going to get to coach this team next year. I don't want Dakich. I like the guy, but I don't want to go through another Mike Davis saga. I think if we go deep into the post season they will hire him even though it would be an external inspiration that promoted the success just like when Knight left. I liked Sampson, but he is gone and it was probably stupid to hire him in the first place. Who do we get??? We haven't had a national championship in 21 years or an outright big ten tittle in 15 years. We have yet to win a Big 10 tournament tittle. Things seemed to be getting on the right track with a coach who had a good 10 seasons left., but like I said thats over. Are good coaches even going to consider IU anymore? I love my hoosiers. I'm just as devoted as anyone on this page and I'm concerned. I want a coach who is going to keep our team in tact. A coach who can salvage our recruiting class. A coach that can almost immediately pick up where sampson left off. A coach who will be around for a while and make us forget about this mess....and the bob knight mess. A coach at the college level is the most important. Look at Kentucky....they are changing and suffering. I'm sure once coach k leaves duke and ol' roy boy is done at NC they will suck for a while too. Infact they have both proven that. Now is our chance. We been through the douche bag assistant. We've tried to cut corners and hire a guy who didn't quite fit the program. Now we have to get this right. We have to get the right guy and not mess around. We have to get the guy who will lead IU to the top when duke and NC loose their coaches. Who?? Who is it that can do this?

i called the taber dunk

if your going to wine become an illinois fan

get some balls and quit selling us short

oh fuck purdue...have some faith we are IU you know...the only thing that will stop us is all the banners getting in our way

I don't want to hear it. I live 40 miles north of purdue and I've been hearing it from them. I'll be damn if I'm going to listen to it from my fellow hoosiers

I've gotta say.....I am proud of the victory tonight. They played really hard smart basketball and we got a lot of of Ellis and Thomas. Gordon really bounced back from his rough start. I couldn't believe DJ went down. I hope he is ok. I am sick and tired of the bs surrounding KS and they should just back off the guy. I mean it hasn't been proven weather or not he even did anything yet. It is going to be a very rough road for the Hoosier without KS in the long run. I mean we are in the top 15 in February. When was the last time that happened. He are in the running for the Big Ten championship. Without KS we will lose future prospects like Ebanks and might have players transfer. Say what you want about the man, but he wants to win as bad as we do and I'll tell you I have to respect that. He is not trying to turn Indiana into Alabama like Davis tried to do. He is a relaxed easy going coach that can coach and that is what is going to bring big time players to Indiana. I love coach Knight as much as anyone, but under him things were not going to change like they need too. The game has just changed too much. So say what you want about Sampson, but if you don't believe that man has a passion for IU victories.......then your just wrong. Just wait and see what we end up with next and you'll wish he was back.

Go Hoosiers!
Go Sampson!

Old news...but something different


Purdue's men's basketball program hit with NCAA sanctions
that time, Purdue had already disciplined assistant coach Frank Kendrick for meeting with then-recru
PrintEmail DoubleClick Any Word Page 1 of 1 The NCAA Committee on Infractions ruled the university violated rules regarding recruiting, extra benefits and ethical conduct in the men's basketball program, in addition to several secondary violations in the women's basketball program.

As part of the school's penalty, it will have to repay up to 90 percent of the revenues generated from the Boilermakers' appearance in the 1996 men's NCAA tournament, and an assistant men's basketball coach was banned from off-campus recruiting for a year.

Purdue was spared possible sanctions that would have left them ineligible for future NCAA tournament berths or televised appearances.

But the Boilermakers will lose a scholarship for the 2000-01 and 2000-02 academic years, limiting the men's basketbal program to 12 scholarships for those seasons.

The university also will be limited to four paid recruiting campus visits during the 1999-2000 and 2000-01 seasons.

Also, all team and individual records from the 24 games during the 1995-96 season in which an ineligible athlete participated will be vacated. That includes their NCAA tournament appearance that season, when Purdue, a No. 1 seed, was eliminated by Georgia in the second round.

The committee penalized Purdue, in part, for a 1995 loan that an assistant coach arranged for a prospective player to receive $4,000 through a representative of the university athletic interests. The loan was never repaid, minimal effort was made to collect the balance and eventually the loan was charged off by the bank after the player left for another institution following the 1995-96 academic year.

Last fall, athletic director Morgan Burke said Purdue found no evidence to support allegations about the loan. But the NCAA found the loan was unsecured, given to a player with no credit history and lacked a cosigner.

Purdue officials said they had no immediate comment on the NCAA sanctions, which have come on the heels of the controversy surrounding Minnesota's basketball program.

The NCAA began a preliminary inquiry into the allegations with interviews at the school in the summer of 1997 and expanded it in March 1998.


Kendrick was fined an undisclosed amount of money and forbidden to recruit off campus for 10 days during the official recruiting period that began in November 1996.

The NCAA, which did not mention Kendrick by name in the report, said an assistant coach involved in the recruiting violations would be subject to NCAA ''show-cause'' requirements for one year. The penalty allows the committee to determine whether the individual's athletic duties should be limited for a specified time.

In December 1996, Burke said coach Gene Keady and Kendrick inadvertently violated NCAA rules by making 15 telephone calls to Davis, who later signed with the Boilermakers, but did not play as a freshman because of academic ineligibility. Davis played in 12 games as a sophomore last season, then quit the team in December.

mike woodson

randy wittman

this is bullshit......there goes our bright future...I'm so disappointed in this situation. Its bad enough that the purdue fans are comming out of the wood work....(and can't even name a player on the team).....

wasn't southern illinois ranked

i agree go fuck yourself illinos

I thought it was funny that stupid piece of shit couldn't hit a free throw to save Bruce Webber from being ass raped

I think Mcgee will transfer. I almost think he is getting forced out to make room for another big man. Crawford will stay. His playing time isn't bad right now and it will pick up more once Eric Gordon goes pro. It just wouldn't be an IU offseason without a transfer. I hated seeing Joey Shaw go. He looked like a player that would come along nicely. Plus once you get redshirted and then you transfer......its just not worth it.
