Regarding the Gordon controversy

The columns cited to support the accusation that nearly the entire coaching staff at IU were hired to "entice" Gordon are nothing more than opinion pieces. Travis Steele worked with the AAU team that Gordon had previously played on, but only during the season that Gordon played with another team, Mean Streets Express. Ray McCallum played high school basketball in Indiana during the same time period that Gordon's father played high school ball in Indiana. More importantly, though, McCallum had already been on Sampson's Oklahoma staff well before the move to Indiana. It strains belief to think that his hiring at IU had much to do with the Gordons. And true, Jeff Meyer was indeed Gordon Sr's college coach. However, as a former head coach from the state of Indiana who Sampson knew through Big Twelve ties (Meyer had recently worked at the University of Missouri), his hiring appears to be a perfectly reasonable move on Sampson's part. All of Indiana's current basketball coaching staff appear to extremely well-qualified (three are former head coaches) and most have connections to the state of Indiana. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Garble1962 (talk • contribs) 23:02, 27 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]
