Houston Coach Kelvin Sampson Ejected in Heated Exchange with Officials

Sampson's first ejection in a decade comes amid concerns over Big 12 officiating, as Houston secures 20th win.

Houston's head coach Kelvin Sampson was ejected from the game against Oklahoma State after storming onto the court and screaming at officials, marking his first ejection in 10 seasons.
The incident occurred with Houston leading by 20 points in the second half, following a missed call by the officials on a push in the back that led to an Oklahoma State bucket.
ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla commented that Sampson was 'proving a point' with his actions, amid concerns over the physicality allowed by referees in the Big 12.
Despite the ejection, Houston went on to win the game 79-63, securing a 20-win season for the ninth consecutive year.
Sampson refused to comment on what specifically set him off, citing a potential $25,000 fine for criticizing officials.
