Yeah wish Kelvin the best. I think he is better suited in College than the NBA.

GL Calvin.
He'll easily be their most successful coach since Guy Lewis retired nearly 30 years ago. Kelvin is right about the same age Billy Tubbs was when he took over at TCU. I think Kelvin will have more success than Billy did, but Houston should also be a better job because of what Guy Lewis accomplished. I wish Kelvin all the best! Perhaps we'll play Houston in the NCAA Tournament sometime in the next few years.

I hope he goes red denim with a blue tie
Funny story. I have a good friend (Bernard Smith) who was recruited hard by OU when Kelvin was there, and ended up signing with Texas. He was the Houston Chronicle player of the year his senior year of HS and was highly recruited. He was a starter at UT his freshman year, but transferred to Houston after Tom Penders was fired. He played at Houston during the Clyde Drexler (Reid Gettys) years, and later played for Ray McCallum (former OU assistant). He told me some good stories about all the coaches he played for.
He told me he most regretted not going to OU and playing for Sampson because OU recruited him the hardest and fit his style of play, but he let some people get in his ear and talk him out of it. I can't wait to ask him what he thinks of the move to hire Sampson.
I think it's a great move by the U of H and Kelvin..... a win/win.

I don't think your timeline is correct about the players at Houston when your friend played. Drexler was at Houston until 83. Kelvin didn't come to OU until 1995.

Haha. I thought the same thing, but thought maybe I was reading his post wrong or something.
He's talking about when Drexler was the coach at Houston. He's right.

That explains things. I didn't know Gettys and Drexler coached at Houston. You guys are constantly teaching me things.

Gettys didn't coach at Houston as far as I know. If he did then I can see why he didn't last. Dude is dumb. I thought the same as you, the poster was talking about when Drexler and Gettys played together at U of H.
Edit: I stand corrected. He was an asst coach for Drexler.

Maybe but only because it's been so recent.
Go ask a Kentucky fan about Eddie Sutton.

Yep, you could make a drinking game out of the dumb things Gettys says during a broadcast, but be careful, don't die of alcohol poisoning.
