Good for him

I'm not so sure.  Seems like we should have guys with more integrity.  He clearly did what he knew to be wrong, why would we want someone who ignores morality as a coach?  I know it seems like morality and coaching aren't connected, but I'd argue you need someone the players can respect (especially on a young team), and no one respects cheaters.

Still, I hope he does a good job here.

Hahahaha! We lambaste athletes for cheating or allegedly cheating and yet some of you are actively rooting for a coach who cheated...TWICE! We also lambaste athletes with character issues, off the field issues, etc., (please see the Bengals legacy recently).

This guy should never be allowed to coach an intramural squad let alone in the NBA with his lack of integrity and cheating ways!

Mandalay . . . I have to agree with you.  While Sampson definitely has some coaching skills, he is still a cheater.  He cheated while at Oklahoma and got caught.  He then goes to Indiana and cheats.  Guess what?  He got caught again.  I'm thinking he may not be as bright as he led everyone to believe.  Either that, or he's convinced that "whatever it takes" is acceptable.  With money not being an object in the NBA, he'll unfortunately probably do well.

But I completely agree that a cheater is being rewarded and that's pretty pathetic.
