University of Houston men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson put out a call to coaches across the country to help victims of Hurricane Harvey. Teams in Nebraska have answered that call.
Coach Sampson tweeted on Monday asking for coaches to donate 20 shirts and 10 pairs of shoes so they can be donated to the thousands of people displaced in the storm.
