BREAKING: Sampson’s contract extended through 2025

The University of Houston announced on Thursday that men’s basketball head coach Kelvin Sampson has extended his contract through 2025, pending the Board of Regents approval.

The extension came after Sampson made back-to-back NCAA Tournaments and brought the team to its first Sweet Sixteen since 1984, and the team was just a play away from making it to the Elite Eight.

“I am excited to be at the University of Houston. We built this program to a point where we can compete for championships now, and I am glad our administration is on board. They have given us a chance to compete for championships.
