Kelvin Sampson is one game away from winning the National Championship, but on Sunday he was able to share a story about how one former Michigan State basketball coach impacted his career.
Sampson led Houston to an improbable comeback against Duke on Saturday night to advance to the National Championship game on Monday. Sampson has experienced a ton of success while at Houston and is now one win away from the highest achievement of them all. But it wasn't always like this for Sampson, who a long time ago coached at Michigan State as a graduate assistant under head coach Jud Heathcote.
