Sampson on Tubbs

[Duke Blue Blood]

Sampson said he never had a problem with his assistants when they were with him. He also didn't buy that they were fired/forced out simply for the rules violations.

"It was a lot bigger than the rules," Sampson said.

Sampson hinted that in the case of Tubbs that someone might have felt he wasn't the right guy for the job and found reasons to let him go.

Tubbs' case is still open and SMU is waiting for the NCAA to respond.
