Senderoff resigns from position as assistant coach

IU assistant men’s basketball coach Rob Senderoff has officially resigned from his position following the announcement that he was involved in recruiting violations. \nAn IU Athletics Department press release dated early Tuesday announced his resignation. \n“Rob Senderoff has decided it is in his and Indiana University’s best interests that he voluntarily resign from the University,” Athletics Department Media Relations Director J.D. Campbell said in a statement. “His resignation is effective immediately.”\nSenderoff was responsible for the majority of the 45 impermissible phone calls made by the men’s basketball coaching staff to recruits. He also connected Sampson to at least 10 three-way phone calls, not allowed under sanctions at the time leveled against Sampson for similar violations Sampson and his staff made at Oklahoma. \nSenderoff did not attend the team’s Friday practice, which was open to the public. At the time, Campbell said the coach missed the practice for personal reasons, and Sampson refused to discuss his absence or the most recent sanctions at Big Ten Media Day in Chicago on Sunday.
