Welcome to Bloomington Coaches McCallum and Meyer

Coach Sampson officially announced his first 2 assistants. Both of these guys have Indiana ties and I love what they are saying about recruiting Indiana.

"I think this is a great staff for this university,'' Sampson said. "These guys understand what basketball means to this state and they are a group that relate to young people and will be tremendous representatives of this university.''

“We not only know, but truly understand the importance of Indiana basketball in the lives of Hoosiers,” Meyer said. “I look forward to being a part of creating more memories, while also adding to the nationally recognized tradition of IU basketball.”

"It feels great to be back in Indiana, and what a blessing it is to be around my family and friends," McCallum said. ". . .When I was a kid, I was a basketball camper at Indiana, and now to be here working under a great head coach in coach Sampson gives me a lot of pride. It is also good for me to be back in the Big Ten.''
Outstanding hires! Now let's fill that 3rd spot with a former player... how about Greg Graham?

I've your not going to hire Greg Graham ... If you're just going to let him drive by without one guy challenging him, then I'm leaving and you guys will run until you can't eat supper....

Greg freakin' Graham, my hero!
