Houston Cougars basketball coach Kelvin Sampson asked for help for flood victims caused by Tropical Storm Harvey in his city.
His coaching contemporaries, including all three coaches in the Triangle, have responded with an outpouring of support.
Sampson posted a message on his Twitter account on Monday night asking for his fellow coaches, at every level, to send 20 t-shirts and 10 pairs of sneakers to the University of Houston.
