Kelvin Sampson went through plenty of emotions on Saturday evening as he watched his UH men’s basketball team take on South Carolina from his home.
Despite not being at Fertitta Center due to contact tracing protocols after his son and top assistant, Kellen, tested positive for COVID-19, he was still as invested in the game as if he were walking on the sidelines in his blue, buttoned-up shirt and red tie.
Sampson struggled to remain calm throughout the game. He called his son multiple times throughout the contest, estimating he hung up on him about thirty times as the evening progressed.
