Kent State Gives Senderoff New Life
So often you hear about coaches who are involved with major violations and then they drop off the college sports landscape. Being associated with a major violation is something that no coach wants to have on their resume; it is a black cloud that can follow you around for your entire career. That is not the case with former IU assistant coach Rob Senderoff. He was one of the assistant coaches on Kelvin Sampson's staff that placed over 100 impermissible calls to recruits a few years back. Senderoff, however, found a second chance at his former school Kent State. They were willing to go in front of the COI and justify their hire, even when Senderoff faced additional penalties for his actions. Now just a few years later, Senderoff has been elevated to the head coach at Kent State. It is certainly an interesting story for Senderoff, while Kelvin Sampson has been out of the NCAA ranks since the incident, relegated to being an assistant coach in the NBA. It is certainly makes a strong case for playing by the rules; if you needed more incentive.
