‘Everyday he’s fired up’:Kellen Sampson’s impact on UH basketball

UH basketball’s Kellen Sampson first joined the Cougars back in 2014 to be the assistant coach along side his father, Kelvin Sampson, and the father-son coaching duo has since rebuilt the program for success, including an unforgettable Final Four run just two seasons ago and an Elite Eight appearance a season later.

While often being casted in the shadows of his father, Kellen brings his own flare to the program and aims to set himself apart from his father when it comes to complementary coaching.

“I think the worst thing I can do is be another version of (Kelvin), he’s one of one,” Kellen Sampson said.
