K. Christmas-Kelly

Kelvin Sampson on having his family around: “I'm old. It's a young man's game, I’ll be out soon enough. Being able work with my kids and have grandkids around, it been the best thing about the job. It's not all the winning. You know, when you win a lot, you win a lot. I appreciate that, but I understand how hard it is to do.” “Having Kellen has been a Godsend, because he's so good at it. Some days I just get tired of hollering at Cenac to get in the stance. I just say ‘You take him, and I'll go.’ I’ll say, ‘Let's see, what time does Maisy and Kylen get home from school today?’ Yeah, so I'll go play the afternoon with them and let Kellen handle Cenac and Flemings and Harwell and Chase, all those freshmen.” “But everybody needs to do that occasionally, have four freshmen on their team and run the gauntlet of the Big 12 with them. Everybody should have to do that at least once. I did it once. I don't plan on doing it again, but I did it once.”
