Message: [QUOTE="Billy Jack, post: 4660214, member: 4173"] Well, if you want to rate Sampson, then your median makes perfect sense. But if the point is to rate the University of Houston’s basketball program, then it’s the Sampson years that are the outlier. Let’s not look just at the past decade but let’s look at the 2 decades before that as well, in which Houston had only 9 seasons with a winning record. Before Sampson got them to the NCAA tournament in 2018, Houston had gone 25 years with just one tournament appearance. The idea that Houston has been a better program than Texas in any reasonable time frame is just ludicrous unless we’re going back almost 40 years to Phi Slama Jama and beyond. Texas has been to 29 NCAA tournaments in the last 35 years. Houston has been to 8. Both have been to 1 Final Four, but Texas has been to 5 Elite 8’s and Houston has been to 2. [/QUOTE]
