Kelvin Sampson, Todd Golden both wore Air Jordans while coaching in NCAA men's championship

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson and Florida coach Todd Golden made the same decision on the sidelines for the NCAA men's basketball national championship game on Monday.

The two coaches had entirely different routes to lead their teams to an appearance in the title game of the men's March Madness tournament. Sampson coached the team with the best defense in men's college basketball while Golden led the team with the second-best offense.

But once actually there, they had one thing in common: Their sneakers. Sampson and Golden both looked fresh in their kicks, rocking Air Jordan shoes on the sideline.
