"I learned a long time ago- you can't teach courage; you can't teach class. And Mr. Barkley reminds us of that."

University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on player development and helping basketball players get better: "We work on all the mundane things. The monotonous things. And we tell them, 'Don't get bored with getting better.' That's important. A lot of guys look at things and those little things become big things.
"I notice how people get excited about someone's potential. But you know potential is mostly a prediction. That's all it is. A prediction. Potential tells you what someone might become. But without the daily grind and the habits — the habits will tell you what they're becoming every day.
"Once they get those habits and they learn from them and then the daily grind, every day working on those habits, then eventually they will become a habit. If something happens once, it might be an accident. If it happens twice, it could be a coincidence. But if it happens three or more times, it becomes a habit.
"And a Coach's job this time of year is to create winning habits."

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson commented to JoJo Tugler recently that he wasn't used to seeing him walking around the practice facility in May and June. Tugler has missed the last two offseasons due to injuries/surgeries.
"Where's your scooter?" Sampson asked.
"That scooter is retired," Tugler told him.
