To be fair, it really wasn't Samsung's phone calls that destroyed the program.  It was the behind the scenes horror show of failed classes and failed drug tests that caused the need for the house cleaning.

I sure don remember any NCAA penalties from failed drug tests, and to be completely honest; we have had more from our current oaching staff. Bassett and the kid who transferred to Xavier and went pro were the only two I could remember. Did the NCAA punish us for low apr or take away schollies? I sure can't recall losing any schollies or post season play. I'm just considering NCAA issues as it related to Sampson.

We were left with the likes of Kyle Tabor because of the off court crime scene at the time.  Take away the mess that caused us to completely clean house and give us a team that still has Bassett and Crawford and co.; we would've dug out faster and wouldn't have had to endure a 6 win season.

 

The NCAA penalties were bad, but the behind the scenes disaster was just as bad.  The latter is why we had to clean house and left Crean with a bare cupboard.

I believe Crawford, Bassett, Jamarcus Ellis all had to miss because of their actions on the Chicago trip. Not sure if Holman or McGee were involved, because it would have been hard to tell what the reason they didn't play was, but I'm confident it was their style...

Pinson is averaging 3.3 pts/gm and could have been the man here.

He is getting lots of playing time to the be the man at UNC. I think he is a super raw player. Has the athleticism, but not a lot else
