It's sad that a coaching mess like this is receiving so much attention in a year where there are some fantastic teams playing in Indiana. Purdue, IU, Notre Dame, Butler, and IUPUI are all very good teams, and the best part about it is that they are winning with IN-STATE talent. It certainly makes it clear that basketball is Indiana's past time and there is some incredible talent at the high school level here. Hummel, Martin, Johnson, Moore, and Kramer at Purdue. Graves, Howard, Campbell, Hahn, and Streicher at Butler. Gordon and Bassett at Indiana. Harrangody and Zeller (occasionally) at Notre Dame. All but 3 players on IUPUI's roster are from Indiana. The talent from Indiana is shining, but two controversial coaches (one that isn't even here anymore) unfortunately get far more attention. Matt Painter, Brad Stevens, Mike Brey, and Ron Hunter are all doing great things with their programs. Another Coach IU may want to consider when they can Sampson is already on their bench with Dakich, Ray McCallum. He was very successful at Ball State and knows how to recruit some of the great in-state talent.
