Houston HC Kelvin Sampson - Why Coaches Fail
- "I think the coaches that fail at every level, are the coaches that are passive aggressive. Passing aggressive coaches are usually afraid to hold kids accountable, they rationalize."
- "If you're going to build a culture, the first thing you have to come to grips with, you're going to have confrontation."
- Consistency
- Competence
- Confidence
- Confrontation
University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on backup center Kalifa Sakho getting five offensive rebounds against A&M after Ramadan: "That 30 days, he lost 14 pounds. I respect all our kids' religions, who they are, what they are, how they live their lives. I have great respect for every human being. Whether they're on my team or not, I respect people.
"So with his Ramadan, he was on a set schedule. What time he had to get up in the morning to eat. And when he could have his last meal at night. So he did that for 30 days and you could tell he was losing a lot of weight. But his last day was Thursday so it's no coincidence that he had his best game on Saturday. My God, the boy ate like it was last meal for two days. I said, 'You don't need to gain all that weight back in two days. Just slow down there, Hoss...
"Kalifa's a smart kid. He's got really good basketball IQ... Kalifa's been a huge, huge part of a lot of our big wins this year."
THIS IS GOLD:
New #Texans guard Wyatt Teller’s wife posted a video showing Wyatt celebrating signing with Houston on a multi-year deal.
Teller immediately put on his boots and put on some George Strait music.

I hate when great defenses lose games because of Quarterback play 🤬.
The #1 Defense (Texans) lost because of QB play
The #2 Defense (Brocnos) lost because of QB play
The #3 defense (Seahawks) let’s see what your QB does
——
*hint* this is why winning is a QB stat!
CJ Stroud is my Lil Bro. I love him. He had an awful outing yesterday, but miss me with questioning his future. I believe his play cost the Texans defense a historic playoff run, but people are forgetting he’s gotten the Texans to the Divisional round 3 years straight.
The Patriots defense is on a heater. Where was all of this talk about quarterback’s future when they shut dominated Justin Herbert last week? CJ has to do some soul searching, he needs to progress, but he’s the Texans’ guy. It’s all about adding value going forward.

Every time her son has a birthday, his mother takes him to the cemetery to pick up "the present his father gave him." The intention is to keep him alive in the child's memory.
