I really thought Indiana was going to choose Steve Alford as its next basketball coach. Instead, IU hired long-time Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson.

I can't imagine the IU faithful is really happy about this. Ever since Bobby Knight was tossed out, many Hoosier fans wanted some kind of link to the program's glory days. Instead of picking a past hero such as Alford, the program chose to go in a completely different direction. Sampson is a solid coach, but just I don't get it.
