Indiana Basketball Coach Kelvin Sampson and his staff have been accused by the NCAA of violating telephone recruiting restrictions. Sampson was sanctioned for 577 impermissible recruiting calls he had made as a head coach at Oklahoma. He was still under those sanctions when Indiana hired him in 2006.

Indiana annouced last October that Sampson had made 100 impermissible phone calls, leading to an NCAA investigation.

Major violations of NCAA rules can carry punishments including postseason ineligibility. Indiana already had self-reported violations under Sampson in October, but the new discovery could put the Hoosiers' season, and Sampson's career, under a cloud of uncertainty.
