Leadership Lowdown | Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Michigan Business Network

Vic Verchereau welcomes Greg Kampe, who is the men's basketball head coach at Oakland University. Greg Kampe enters his 39th season at the helm of Oakland's men's basketball program. In the 2020-21 season, Kampe led the Golden Grizzlies to the No. 3 seed in the Horizon League tournament and their first-ever trip to the championship game since joining the conference in 2014. Under Kampe's tutelage, junior point guard Jalen Moore became the seventh Golden Grizzly since 2009 to lead the nation in a statistical category with 8.4 assists per game. Oakland came away with 10 League victories in an unprecedented year of collegiate sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which marked the 13th time in the last 15 seasons with double-digit wins in conference play, the best among Michigan Division I schools. It was a milestone year for Kampe in 2017-18 as he was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame on Sept. 15, 2017. Among the 2017 class included Jalen Rose, Jim Leyland, Dennis Rodman and Andre Rison. He also earned his 600th career win, becoming the 15th active Division I coach to reach the milestone. That kind of success and longevity demands that the Leadership Lowdown gets Coach Kampe to share his thoughts on his legendary career and all that he has learned along the way (even his steps down the yellow brick road!).
