Coach Sampson: Houston Cougars' Father Figure

0:00On March 4, Kelvin Samson has led the Houston Cougars men's basketball team as head coach since 2014 transforming the program into one of its strongest since Hakim Olazwan's days. The job demands huge commitment from players and coaches alike, often cutting into their personal lives as they grind through intense training on and off the court. Samson, who has his own son serving as an assistant coach, recently shared on a talk show how close these bonds get, noting that his players end up spending more time with him than with their own parents during their college years. He described the coaching role much like that of a father figure, stressing that to reach your best, you need a mix of good and tough times, including bad games and hard days that build character.
