NCAA report details violations at Indiana
Ken Bikoff
Indiana head men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson (http://collegebasketball.rivals.com/viewcoach.asp?Coach=772) has been cited by the NCAA for acting "contrary to the NCAA principles of ethical conduct" for knowingly violating recruiting restrictions that had been placed upon him, according to a report released by the NCAA Wednesday.
The report details multiple instances of Sampson violating the sanctions imposed upon him in May 2006 by the NCAA after it was discovered that he had made more than 500 impermissible phone calls while he was head coach at Oklahoma. Sampson's penalties followed him to Bloomington, and he was banned from making recruiting phone calls, participating in three-way phone calls or conducting off-campus recruiting visits from May 25, 2006-May 24, 2007.
Indiana self-reported violations in October 2007 detailing impermissible phone calls made by assistant coaches Rob Senderoff and Jeff Meyer (http://collegebasketball.rivals.com/viewcoach.asp?Coach=743), and Sampson said at the time he unknowingly had participated in some three-way calls in which Senderoff called recruits then patched Sampson through without Sampson knowing Senderoff was still on the line. Senderoff was later fired.
The NCAA's report on the most recent violations, which was released Wednesday, contends that Sampson, in fact, knowingly took part in the three-way phone calls and repeatedly violated the sanctions that had been placed upon him. There also was the allegation that Meyer had provided prospect Derek Elston (http://collegebasketball.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=66608), who later committed to Indiana, an improper benefit when he gave Elston's high school coach a backpack and a t-shirt during an IU basketball camp with the understanding Elston was to receive the items when he returned home.
