Inside UH’s sustained NCAA Tournament success under Kelvin Sampson

Even at 66, Kelvin Sampson still knows how to have a little bit of fun.

As soon as he entered the locker room after the Cougars punched their third straight ticket to the Sweet 16, Sampson ripped off his patented red Jordan polo, threw his arms in the air and began to dance — all while being doused in water by his team.

His players were all smiles, loving every second of witnessing pure jubilation on the man who has transformed the UH men’s basketball program into force to be reckoned with.
