(WXYZ) — Golden Grizzlies head coach Greg Kampe makes history as he embarks on his 40th season at Oakland University, becoming the longest tenured coach at a single university in all of NCAA Division-I men's basketball.

Oakland beat Bowling Green State University 81-62 in Kampe's big game. The night started with video tributes from basketball legends like Tom Izzo, Jim Boeheim, Mike Malone, and Jay Bilas. Kampe admitted he has thought about retirement, but still enjoys coaching too much to leave any time soon.
