I recently subscribed to a yahoo college sports service to watch my cousins son play basketball. I'm pretty oblivious and wondered if someone could tell me which teams I should watch play in the Patriot League.

I can go back and watch most games online. My cousin's son plays for Lehigh. I've been trying to learn a little about. I guess Lehigh made a NCAA playoffs a few years ago.

 

They're 7-6 (or so) going into league play this week.

The guy I'm dating was lucky enough to go to the Duke-UVA game in Cameron Indoor last night. Even though he knows that is MY dream and I was jealous as hell, it didn't stop him from sending me texts like "i'm sitting with the crazies" or "i'm eating free food courtesy of Coach K".

 

At least UVA lost, which made me somewhat happy.

Holy Cross ended Lehigh's four game winning streak today. But Last Year it went into overtime.

 

Still, it's fun to see my cousin's son play college ball. Dang he was the youngest, growin up at family functions the other kids would show him no mercy . . . (none of his cousins pick on him now) . . .

 

Four weeks till March . . .

Bobby Knight leaves Texas Tech. Have at him ESPN. You had no problem doing it to Petrino.

 

 

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3230737

 

 

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech coach Bob Knight resigned Monday and his son Pat will take over the program.

 

Chris Cook, a spokesman for athletic director Gerald Myers confirmed the resignation, which was first reported by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

 

Bob Knight has 902 career wins, more than any coach in the history of Division I men's basketball. Win No. 900 came last month against Texas A&M. The Red Raiders are 12-8 this season.

 

The 67-year-old Knight has been a head coach for 42 years at three Division I schools. He got his 100th victory at Army, then moved to Indiana, where his Hoosiers went 662-239 and won three national championships from 1971-2000.

 

His first NCAA title came in 1976 when Indiana went undefeated, a feat no team has done since. In 1984, he coached the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in Los Angeles.

 

Knight, known as much for his fiery temper as his coaching brilliance, came to Texas Tech in March 2001, six months after being fired by Indiana for what school officials there called a "pattern of unacceptable behavior."

 

He began his coaching career in 1965 at Army, where at 24 he was the youngest-ever Division I coach.

Although the end came somewhat abruptly, it was not a major surprise considering the current state of a program that 23 months ago stunned the college basketball world on its way to the 2006 Final Four.

 

The Tigers are currently languishing at the bottom of the Southeastern Conference with an 8-13 record (1-6 in league games) after sputtering to a 17-15 finish last season. LSU has lost 17 of its last 23 SEC games and is 20-25 since beginning the 2006-07 campaign with an 11-3 record that included noteworthy victories against Texas A&M and Connecticut.

NCAA lists five major violations against Sampson, Indiana staff

 

ESPN.com news services

 

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana basketball coach Kelvin Sampson and his staff violated telephone recruiting restrictions imposed because of his previous violations at Oklahoma, then lied about it to the school and NCAA investigators, according to an NCAA report released Wednesday.

 

The NCAA listed five major violations against Sampson, saying he gave "false or misleading information" to investigators.

 

Sampson "failed to deport himself ... with the generally recognized high standard of honesty" and "failed to promote an atmosphere for compliance within the men's basketball program," according to the report.

 

Athletic director Rick Greenspan promised the university would cooperate with all NCAA requests.

 

"We are extremely disappointed in these new allegations regarding coach Sampson," Greenspan said in a statement. "To say the least, we view these allegations with grave concern."

 

Major violations of NCAA rules can carry punishments including postseason ineligibility. Indiana already had self-reported violations under Sampson in October, but the new discovery could put the Hoosiers' season, and Sampson's career, under a cloud of uncertainty.

 

The Hoosiers have had no NCAA major violations since 1960.

 

Indiana (20-3, No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 13 AP) has until May 8 to provide a written response, but the matter could simmer late into the summer. The committee on infractions has a hearing in April, but because of the allotted 90-day window for Indiana to respond, the hearing is not expected to take place until the committee's planned June meeting.

 

Sampson did not return a message left for him Tuesday by ESPN.com.

 

A postseason ban for the Hoosiers would come into play only if IU decides to self-impose such a measure. Multiple sources told ESPN.com that a postseason ban would occur only if there were an issue with the eligibility of any current student-athletes. ESPN.com has been told this isn't the case at this point.

 

At Sampson's introductory news conference at Indiana two years ago, then-president Adam Herbert said, "I am fully convinced that he will elevate the program to what you expect. ... He has made clear our players will do well academically and graduate and that he will comply fully with NCAA regulations."

 

Among the allegations cited in the NCAA's report:

 

  • Sampson, assistant coach Jeff Meyer and former assistant Rob Senderoff failed to comply with sanctions imposed on Sampson for impermissible recruiting calls he made while he was the head coach at Oklahoma. Sampson was under such sanctions when he was hired to coach the Hoosiers in March 2006.
     
    Sampson and Senderoff, who resigned his position Oct. 30, are alleged to have jointly participated in telephone calls at a time when Sampson was prohibited from being present or taking part when staff members made recruiting calls. Senderoff and Meyer are alleged to have made about 100 calls that exceeded the sanction limits.
     
     
  • Senderoff and Meyer placed "at least 25 telephone calls" to nine potential recruits that exceeded NCAA limits even if no sanctions had been in place.
     
     
  • Sampson "acted contrary to the NCAA principles of ethical conduct when he knowingly violated recruiting restrictions imposed by the NCAA Committee on Infractions."
     
     
  • Sampson and Meyer engaged in an impermissible recruiting contact during a two-day sports camp held at Assembly Hall last June 30 and July 1, and that Meyer provided the potential recruit with an impermissible benefit -- at least one T-shirt and drawstring backpack.

The NCAA launched its investigation after Indiana announced in October that Sampson had made 100 impermissible phone calls while he was on probation for illicit calls made while he was the coach at Oklahoma from 2000-2006. During that time, he made 577 impermissible calls.

 

Sampson was penalized by Oklahoma by not being allowed to travel for recruiting. Indiana imposed the same penalty in his first season as coach. He also was not permitted to make calls or leave campus to recruit for a calendar year. He was not banned from text messaging since it was allowed during that year. But it was during that year that he made the impermissible calls.

 

Sampson wasn't allowed to take part in three-way calls, originated by anyone on his staff. In October, Indiana made public that Senderoff initiated three-way calls involving Sampson. During the October news conference, Indiana said that Sampson said he was unaware he was participating in three-way calls. Senderoff, who was forced to resign, said he didn't let Sampson know he was on three-way calls, either. Prior to being forced out of his job, Senderoff was told he couldn't recruit off campus for a year or make calls. The same restriction was put on Dan Dakich, who has since been moved up to an assistant's position from director of basketball operations.

 

Sampson was hit with more penalties by the school, forfeiting a $500,000 raise, and a scholarship was taken away from the team.

 

Upon his hiring at Indiana in 2006, Sampson said, "It is a little bit embarrassing to stand up here and be asked about NCAA violations, but you also have to realize we're human and we make mistakes. I made a mistake but we've corrected it and moved forward."

 

In a statement issued through his attorney Wednesday, Meyer said he would continue to cooperate with Indiana and the NCAA.

 

"I regret that I may have made mistakes that are causing my and IU's conduct to be examined by the NCAA.

Former Razorbacks coach has had dialogue with Arkansas State

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Associated Press

 

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Nolan Richardson says he is talking with Arkansas State officials about the school's basketball coaching vacancy.

 

Richardson has been out of college coaching since being fired by Arkansas in 2002. He made his remarks after a luncheon Monday in North Little Rock.

 

"I have visited with them, and I will have some more visitations with the [athletic director] and the chancellor," Richardson said. "I will have some more dialogue with them here in the next day or so."

 

The job has been open since Dickey Nutt resigned two weeks ago.

 

Richardson coached Arkansas to a national championship in 1994 but was fired in 2002 and later lost a discrimination lawsuit against the school. Richardson has stayed in the Fayetteville area since then and has been supportive of Stan Heath and John Pelphrey, the two men who have coached the Razorbacks after he left.

 

Richardson's recent coaching experience includes a pair of stints at the international level. He coached national teams from Panama and Mexico.

 

When the Arkansas State job came open, he said he could entertain the idea of coaching there. On Monday, Richardson was asked if he had applied for the job.

 

"Applying is one thing and being able to discuss the job is another," Richardson said.

 

Richardson made it clear he still has an itch to coach.

 

"It doesn't necessarily have to be Arkansas State," Richardson said. "It's, 'Am I through coaching?' That's the bottom line. I thought I was, and then I went over to Panama, and then I went to Mexico City. And I'm saying, 'Well, wait a minute. I've had six years of vacation. I'm saved up. I can work some more.'"

 

Arkansas State has never been able to draw as many fans as the Razorbacks, but Richardson said he believes the program has the potential to attract a large following.

 

"Winning can do a lot of things," Richardson said.

Just when they looked dead in the water, the Buckeyes have put together a couple nice wins against Purdue and Mich St. They'll probably have to take down Sparty again on Friday to get in for sure, but hey, not bad for a team that looked like they had given up a week ago.

 

Streaky. That can be fun this time of year.
