According to David Goricki of the Detroit News, the vacant Dayton job has tempted long time Oakland head basketball coach Greg Kampe.

“Some of the coaches have come up to me, talking about my name being mentioned with the Dayton job,” Kampe told The Detroit News on Thursday from Houston. “I haven’t talked to anyone from Dayton, but I’d be interested to talk to them about it.

“The only place I’m leaving Oakland for is a place where I could win and win big. I’m talking national championships. I want to go to a place that has high expectations, a chance at getting to the Final Four for a shot at the national title. I think you could do that at Dayton.”

Kampe’s name has been thrown into the mix ever since the Dayton job was left vacant when Brian Gregory left the school to take over head coaching duties at Georgia Tech.

This would obviously be a huge blow to the Oakland basketball program who has experienced tremendous success not only within the Summit League but the entire Division I landscape these past few seasons.

Kampe has been a coach at Oakland University since 1984.
