Kelvin Sampson's footprints all over this year's NCAA tournament

03-21-2010, 04:38 AM

Kelvin Sampson isn't coaching colege ball any more, but evidence of his touch is all over the NCAA tournament.
Armon Bassett who helped lead Ohio to the 2nd round, and Jordan Crawford, the Star for Xavier, both were at Indiana and left when Sampson was fired. Devin Ebanks was committed and signed there when Sampson left, and was released from his LOI.
Here is an article about these 2 and others.-

BUFFALO – He is the gift that keeps on giving, to everyone but the schools that once employed him, that is.Kelvin Sampson’s handprint is all over this NCAA Tournament, the players left in the wake of his implosion at Oklahoma and Indiana racking up minutes for teams while the Sooners and Hoosiers watch from afar.

I noticed 1 other former player- Ben Allen, the starting center for St. Mary's also played under Sampson at Indiana.
