Former Indiana Head Coach Kelvin Sampson appears to be headed for an assistant position with Scott Skiles and the Milwaukee Bucks. I think it is a great move for him. His ego is such he will become a very good NBA coach. More importantly, now the NCAA can go after someone else’s phone records. Mark my words Sampson will be a head coach in the NBA in less than 5 years.
Glad to see him land on his feet.
Stanford Still Looking: AD Bob Bowlsby was in Philly this week to offer the job to Larry Brown. Brown rejected him as he wants a job that will not keep him from relocating and also give him a chance at a national championship. Can you understand why Jay Wright’s name has been mentioned as a future coach in the NBA.
Others on the list are Doug Wojcik. He has done a solid job at Tulsa, but certainly has underachieved by that program’s standards over the years. Oh, he did win the CBI. I know what is that?
Larry Krystowiak, who was just fired by the Bucks, is the latest name to be thrown out there.
My money is on Wojcik. The former assistant at Michigan State has one of the hardest working guys in the business pulling for him, Tom Izzo.
