Hoops and Havoc, Hope and Harmony

Sampson gone at IU. That was a quick resolution to a nasty situation. Marty forwarded this article from the Chicago Sun-times in which the author concludes his story with:

Imagine, a university president pleading kids to play a basketball game. That's what life has come to at Indiana, once a cradle of hoops, now an epicenter of havoc.

But just before that poses the possibility of history repeating itself. Remember?

In 1989, Michigan coach Bill Frieder announced in mid-March that he was leaving for Arizona State, prompting an incensed Bo Schembechler to replace him with assistant Steve Fisher. You know how that turned out: a national championship.

I hope the young men who have shown their loyalty to their coach can now find it in themselves to do the right thing and get on with their own lives; Kelvin Sampson apparently has. Think it's time to move the hoops from havoc to harmony.
