The NCAA announced today that it has denied former coach Kelvin Sampson’s appeal of a show-cause penalty that won’t expire until November 2013, according to ESPN.com’s Andy Katz.
The former Indiana coach resigned in February 2008 amid an NCAA investigation into improper contact with recruits. Sampson was already on probation for improperly making hundreds of phone calls to recruits while he was Oklahoma’s coach.
According to the show-cause penalty(PDF), Sampson might bring additional restrictions upon any team that hires him. In addition, he cannot participate in any recruiting activities until November 2011.
The NCAA’s penalties fall just short of banning Sampson from the collegiate coaching ranks. Sampson has found refuge in the NBA, where he works for the Milwaukee Bucks.
