What happened when he didn't learn his lesson?

Sampson also broke some rules. Not sure how it relates.
I don't know if 2 games was enough or not. If they stay out of trouble from then on, I guess it was.

He got kicked off the team. Escalating punishment for more serious/continued behavioral problems seems to me like a smarter method of discipline than imposing nearly the most severe punishment possible for a first time, relatively minor offense. YMMV.

I am not really sure how that relates either.

Not only did he get kicked off the team, he got kicked off the team going into the post season. It was the year OU lost in OT to Indiana State.
What is it you want me to say? There is no such thing as a mall cop with the ability to write a citation. Often, an off duty NPD officer works mall security. If a regular ordinary security officer catches them. Then, they detain them and call the cops.
I'm retired from the bail bond business in Norman. While I was in that business, my agency wrote more bail on an annual basis than anyone in Cleveland County. Me and my staff over the years bailed out literaly dozens of Sooner Fashion Mall shop lifters. I know very well how the process works.
Avoiding those kind of negative contacts with the police isn't all that hard. Most everyone manages to get through life without one. Even most athletes.

Sampson obviously did a good enough job at OU that Indiana hired him while he was under NCAA investigation. That says a lot about the professional opinion of his abilities.
Having said that I always thought his teams were boring to watch and he could not attract enough talent to ever give you the feeling OU was a serious program other than the Hollis years.
Kruger is a step up from both Capel and Sampson. Let's hope for the best.

I like Lon Kruger a lot and have been very vocal about the choice to hire him. However, I'm not ready to say from Kruger to Sampson is a step up because both are great coaches. I'm sure the offense under Kruger will be better, but the defense that Sampson's teams employed and the intensity will be hard for any coach to best.
Sampson took a lot of teams that were basically had "chicken shi#" for talent and turned them into chicken salad.

I'll say the same thing now that I said when Capel was hired. I liked Billy a lot because his teams won and were so much fun to watch. I like Kelvin even more because of the effort his teams put forth. I always want to like the next coach even more than I liked the previous one. That would mean we kept improving the program. Unfortunately, Capel took us backwards, not forwards. Once again, I hope I like Kruger even better than I liked BIlly & Kelvin.
