INDIANAPOLIS - Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson is headed to Indiana, ready to take over the reins of one of the nation's most prestigious college basketball programs. Sampson told his players of the decision at a team meeting Tuesday, the same day Indiana players were informed of his hiring to replace Mike Davis.

New coach's hiring to be announced 'within days'

By Sam Nissen · Tuesday, March 28,2006 12:12 p.m.

Larry MacIntyre, director of media relations, said he expects an announcement of the next IU men's basketball coach to be made "within days." He added that the announcement could come as late as the beginning of next week. MacIntyre's expectation, though, was only based on "me reading the tea leaves in front of me," he said. If a new coach is to be announced, IU President Adam Herbert and the personnel subcommittee of the Athletics Committee must approve of the selection of a coach early this week, according to the bylaws governing the committee and subcommittee member Bruce Jaffee, who is also a professor of business economics and public policy.

Kappa Delta rider Lauren Ziemba's Little 500 wasn't supposed to be like this.

It's supposed to go perfect -- perfect weather, perfect track, perfect quals."
