Sampson: I concealed nothing
Kelvin Sampson defended himself Tuesday after Indiana University told the NCAA that "intentional conduct" by the school's former basketball coach could not have been stopped. "In no way did I ever hide or withhold information from Indiana University's compliance department," Sampson, now an assistant coach with the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks, said in a statement released by his agent. "I vehemently deny the inference that I made and concealed impermissible calls. The NCAA has never alleged that I initiated any illegal phone calls to recruits while serving as the head coach at Indiana. I always provided Indiana with everything they requested, including all documents and phone records." Sampson is accused of violating sanctions by being present while recruiting phone calls were made and knowingly participating in impermissible three-way phone calls with recruits. He is also accused of unethical conduct for providing false or misleading information to investigators and failing "to promote an atmosphere for compliance" within the program.

Your covering your stink'n arm pits.....that's something. Not to mention when a person crosses his arms (as in the photo) it's a sign of insecurity...etc. Nice try Sampson.

Do you really believe that, I don't. It can be but it's a comfortable position, one, while standing and two, people do it when they feel a chill.

The NCAA needs to publish it's findings and evidence to shut this idiot up. It's a slap in the face when he says; "The NCAA has never alleged that I initiated any illegal phone calls to recruits while serving as the head coach at Indiana" I think he's playing word games with the "initiate" claim, meaning someone else dialed the number!

Sampson is pretty cushy in his new job. What can the NCAA do to him? He is out of their reach. Maybe the NCAA should talk to the NBA and other professional sport organizations and suggest that coaches who are proven to have cheated in college should also be banned from professional sporting jobs. This would give the NCAA some real leverage with Sampson and his kind.

You could be right, but I think Jim Harrick (sp) and his son could give him a run for his money in this category!!
