He should have been scared to death the first time he got caught, but I guess nobody close enough to him was in his ear about it so he did it again.

It's really kind of a telling quote about Bob Knight's integrity, at least with regard to having an ethical code about the rules and the integrity of the game. Again I'll pose the question, since I haven't gotten an answer: if it wasn't such a big deal, why was it important enough for Sampson to risk his job and his reputation (and the school's) to make those calls?

I'm sure it's a distraction but not that big.

All Sampson did was make some phone calls he shouldn't have made. There have been far worse things that coaches have done.
