As if training at Coke to work for Pepsi, Greg Kampe played college basketball — and football — at Bowling Green, then landed his first job as an assistant at Toledo under the legendary Bob Nichols.
It was early proof in his extraordinary hoops life that anything was possible.
And from there, as he continued to make his way up I-75, he saw only open road ahead.
When Kampe left Toledo in 1984 to become the head coach at Oakland University — the suburban Detroit school that was then in Division II — his new post was but another audition.
