Article: Goodbye to Sampson, IU's good name

I think this is a pretty good article. I don't agree with everything Greg Couch says, but he makes some good points. I don't like the whole Bobby Knight comparison (how can you compare the two?), but again, some solid points. Check it out and let me know your thoughts:

Sampson, I agree with you that there are some good points, but I think in an attempt to make them, he sacrificed quite a bit of truth... I mean, he makes some BOLD statements, I just don't know how you can agree with some of them.

Honestly, all the embarrassment Knight brought to Indiana, from throwing chairs to choking players, wasn’t as bad as Sampson. At least Knight wasn’t slimy, and wasn’t getting into trouble for breaking rules.
Slimy? Ouch!

He donated to the school library, helped to care for his players _ at least the ones he didn’t head-butt. Knight was just a bully, and maybe a lunatic.
Haha, I laughed at that last one. I would take Knight back any day!
