Exactly and the expectations wouldn’t be ridiculous...at Tech even if you miss a tourney here and there while you rebuild classes and if you can make a sweet 16 every so often you are in great shape. Texas wants to win conference championships and fight it out with Kansas etc...expectations are very high. Perfect fit...appropriate expectations...good bosses...grass isn’t always greener and heck he recruits well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was refreshing my memory on him. He can from the west coast(nevada) before georgia. Could be a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Kelvin Sampson knows how to coach. His teams can be very Izzo-like. But I can't respect the fact that he doesn't factor in a kid's character into his recruiting, and/or does not manage them properly off the court. Plus his blatant flouting of the rules, after literally being penalized and warned, is ridiculous. I'd think UCLA can find a way to win without him. Arkansas? Who knows, they've been floundering in football and basketball for years. They may be desperate. Tech gave Chris Beard 6 years and $19 M. Maybe UCLA knocks that offer out of the park.

Given the difference in cost of living, they'd have to nearly double it to make it an equitable offer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a really good hire...I even mentioned it several days back in the Drew thread. I think however he is looking to stay in the NBA...more to being a college coach then coaching.
