When head coach Kelvin Sampson was reading the “Bernstein Bears” last week, he was reminded of his days back at Washington State when both his two kids, Kellen and Lauren Sampson, were young, and he would read to them children’s books before they had to go to sleep.
“One of my greatest joys was reading bedtime stories to them every night,” Kelvin said.
The kids loved having their father read to them so much that it led to the start of a tradition Kelvin does to this day, which is having the entire team over to his house to watch film the night before a home game.
