University of Houston Kelvin Sampson does not blame Baylor coach Scott Drew for bringing on 7-footer James Nnaji, who's already been drafted by the NBA. " I say kudos to Scott Drew and Baylor for knowing about it," Sampson says. ". . . I didn't know about (the rule). But then again I never asked either. And nobody ever told me. But Scott did. And you know what? Good for Scott. If the rule is there, then you should be able to do it. But if the rule is there, let's find a way for everybody to know about it. . .
"Whether it's a good rule or a bad rule. . . Look man, we're paying these guys more money than their parents will make in a lifetime. And you're asking us what we're worried about an eligibility rule mid semester. . . There's no such thing as a surprise anymore."
Scott Drew said he wasn't in favor of signing pros when it first came about. "But, again, we don’t make the rules. As we find out about things, we’re always going to adapt to put our program in position to be successful, because that’s what we get paid to do," Drew said.
