Cool moment when Galen Robinson Jr. asked his former head coach Kelvin Sampson a question on Sampson's media Zoom session today. With Sampson almost immediately crediting his program's pioneering point guard for helping set the stage. "You gave all those kids who came behind you permission to go to the University of Houston," Sampson says.
With Robinson set to be the TV analyst for UH's next game (December 29 vs. Middle Tennessee), Sampson is pumped to actually listen to the broadcast later. "What an unbelievable opportunity for Galen," Sampson says. "I think this is something you're going to grow with. . .
"Sometimes I listen with (no) volume. Like I had no idea what was being said in the Arkansas game because I just saw our copy. I usually watch it with no volume on. Or no audio.
"But I'm going to listen to this one. I'm going to listen to this one. And this may be the first time I call an announcer and give him a grade."

Getting harder and harder to justify drafting this dude outside of the top 5
No idea who he bumps out, my he is so ridiculously SPECIAL
If you pass on him, you better make sure you are getting a Superstar
Kelvin Sampson and his University of Houston players watched part of former assistant Quannas White's first win as a head coach at Louisiana together Friday night. "They'd call out he's running Quick," Sampson tells @PaperCityMag. "They recognized everything he was running."
Sampson later proudly watched White's whole first career win again himself. "Just satisfying," Sampson says. "Because you go back to when you were recruiting him (as a player). I went to his mother's house in New Orleans. . . So to see these guys in high school, junior college, college and to see where he's a Division I head basketball coach. That does this old coach's heart good.
"I'm really proud of him. I saw his mom sitting behind him. Colette. She's a beauty. His wife Leah and his four kids. That kid's come a long way. And he's going to be really good at this."
Marcus Sasser mindset going into training camp
“As a point guard, you know, I'm going to run the floor. I run a group, the second group. So just using my voice out there during training camp,being demanding, and then, just being first in everything, you know. Being the leader, showing my team, when Cade or somebody is down,you can depend on me. “
