He’s not wrong.

That being said, the advantage of being able to recruit kids from any walk of life who don’t have to consider the reality of getting kicked out of school for engaging in normal college behavior is slightly better than the advantage of fielding a team of 24/25 yr-old lily white seniors.

I actually really like Houston's coach so his response surprised me...

They only say that when they lose to BYU.

Kelvin Sampson knows cheating when he sees it. He's the best there is.

He made it clear that age didn't give us a physical advantage. I think it was a

Nothing is stopping teams from asking their players to go not play basketball

I don't think it was a bad response. We are a senior-laden team. Of course I

11/16/19 11:49am

I think we all know that's not what he's talking about. If he'd just lost to a senior-laden Gonzaga team this wouldn't

He was talking age specifically, not year in school. If he meant that, which I'm

11/16/19 11:53am

You’re wrong. I listened to the entire 10+ minute interview...

The Y's Insider

11/16/19 11:56am

I think you're wrong. He didn't have to use age.

11/16/19 11:58am

"How old they are". Not how "experienced" they are. Come on now.

People are paranoid; he meant seniors vs freshmen

Coop

You are naive if you truly believe that. Coaches talking about the SR-FR difference talk about "experience" and such

Yeah, those dumb Mormons, right?

He's referring to the mission excuse.

JmThms

11/16/19 12:30pm

Do you mean mission trip?

I just took a peak at both teams stats because I was curious.

Yet by far the highest draft choices are always one and dones.

I think he's right. Age brings maturity and experience, which helps against superior athletes.

Classic response from a coach who has always been in trouble...

Lol. Ask any coach in America to pick which group of players BYU or Houston

kotacoug

11/16/19 11:58am

I don't think it was meant at all as a shot at BYU

Goliath

Yeah, I don’t read that as a mission comment as much as just a “seniors” comment

Kelvin Sampson is a good coach, been around for a long time, but he knows better

Reveals lack of character in him. Not surprising. As we know, that sort of

This was exactly what Coach K said after losing to the Zags in Maui last year ..

This comment is so idiotic when referring to basketball that it’s ridiculous

What a sore loser. No class.

Speedy

11/16/19 1:13pm

You like him? He’s a proven dirty coach.

11/16/19 2:08pm

Funny, but in all seriousness I think he's just talking about game experience

Resurgens

11/16/19 2:12pm

He said experience wise. Don't be so thin skinned.

djetal

11/16/19 2:33pm

The coach is right in this case because he's not talking about physical advantag

Who cares what the coach says. That game ended awesomely!
