Oakland University unveils new ‘blacktop’ basketball court

Posted Apr 27, 2015
Oakland coach Greg Kampe had a vision of black court homecourt with a “blacktop” feel for his program. Fans were given the opportunity to vote for the school’s next court this past season and one of the three options was Kampe’s “blacktop” court. The fans believed in Kampe’s vision, voting more than 10,000 times for it and the vision became a reality this week as Oakland unveiled it’s all black court, the first of it’s kind in the nation.
