YouTube Gold: A Peek Into Cameron In the 1960’s

Cameron Crazies in actionThis is a pretty great basketball training video from the 1960’s and it was filmed in Cameron in, we think, 1965-66, which was one of Vic Bubas’s very best teams. It made the Final Four but Bob Verga was ill and so Duke lost to Kentucky in the semifinals, 83-79.

Kentucky of course went on to lose to Texas Western (now UTEP) in the national championship and became the eternal poster child for segregated basketball.

Thanks, BBN!

You never know how things might have been different, but that team was known as Rupp’s Runts and Duke had Mike Lewis inside, so things might have been different for the Blue Devils against the Miners.

Anyway, the drills and narration on this video…
