“I remember the apathy. Nobody caring. When I say nobody, I mean nobody,” Sampson said of his arrival in 2014. “That started from the top down. All you had to do was look at the facilities. That’s the first indicator whether people care or not. Because if you care about your coaches and players you’re going to give them the best chance to win, and that starts with facilities.
“When we got here in 2014 we had nothing. It was embarrassing. Now I wouldn’t trade our atmosphere or facility for nobody in this league.”
