Houston men’s basketball head coach Kelvin Sampson has met with his primary athletic trainer more in the last five months than he did the past five years.
The reason for Sampson’s constant conversations with John Houston is because of COVID-19, which cut the Cougars’ 2019-20 season short just days before the American Athletic Conference Tournament.
Since then, knowledge about the virus has increased drastically, and while cases appear to still be a problem across the country, the NCAA and its conferences are determined to get a season off the ground. However, this year is sure to have plenty of bumpy patches along the way.
