(This will make 4 coaches leaving the league this season.) He definitely coaches grind-it-out basketball, though. Given that such games are not really favored by fans, and that Sampson has zero IU pedigree, I'm surprised to see him heading to the Hoosiers.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135729997685992811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12004593.post-1143572912408160582006-03-28T11:08:00.000-08:002006-03-28T11:08:00.000-08:00Big mistake by IU -- if Few ever got a job at a sc...Big mistake by IU -- if Few ever got a job at a school like that, where he could really recruit (not that he's done badly at GU), he'd be incredible.<BR/><BR/>As it is, it looks like they're sticking with that old grind-it-out style. Another mistake -- the consistently elite programs of the recent past (Duke, UNC, Kansas, UConn, Arizona, Pitino's Kentucky) have pretty uniformly run rather high octane systems. Really, I can only think of two national champs in the last fifteen years that could plausibly be described as grinders: Michigan State and Syracuse (with a good chance that a third team will be added this year). Sampson's a good coach, and I suspect that IU will step up its performance under his watch, but I'd be surprised if they rejoin the elite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
