Kellen Sampson has joined the UH men’s basketball coaching staff as an assistant coach.
It will be the first time that Kellen has worked for his father, Kelvin Sampson, as a full-time assistant coach. He will assist in all aspects of the program.
“Kellen is extremely organized and extremely disciplined. He has a great way about him with the players and builds relationships. The city and University community, players, coaches and staff will enjoy him because of his personality. He has a bright future in this business,” Kelvin said. “My dad was my high school coach, and he was always the guy I looked up to. One of my great memories of coaching Oklahoma was coaching Kellen, and this is an opportunity to reunite. The father-son issue is there, but I could not have hired a better up-and-coming young coach than Kellen.”
