Despite violations, Montana Tech to honor Sampson

 
Montana Tech has no plans to change the name of its new basketball court, despite recent allegations against its namesake, former Indiana men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson, athletic director Joe McClafferty said. A recent NCAA investigation found Sampson committed five major rules violations, leading to his resignation Friday. Sampson, who started his college coaching career at Tech, donated $50,000 toward the cost of renovating the school's physical education building. [link]
