‘Zoom is Zoom, but flesh is flesh’: Kelvin Sampson’s Cougars look to make up time, stay safe with return to workouts

It has been over four months since Kelvin Sampson’s Houston team was together and able to practice without restrictions.

On Monday, the players were allowed into the training facility for workouts after a pause in June due to six positive COVID-19 cases from UH student athletes, but things are still far from normal.

When the players, coaches and staff walk into the facility they must all be wearing a mask and get their temperatures checked. They have hygiene tables to wash their hands and everyone gets fresh red towels to open doors with.

The assistant coaches have also broken up the team into smaller groups to work out with.
