Rob Kampman came to Wichita State less than 20 years ago to help move the Shockers from the days of cockroaches in Levitt Arena and losing basketball to Koch Arena and 20-win seasons.
He played in Levitt Arena as a freshman, stepping on bugs and walking to the metal building on the Cessna Stadium track to lift weights. The Shockers moved to the Kansas Coliseum during the 2002-03 season before returning to Koch Arena, renovated, updated with new offices and locker rooms and expanded with a weight room and study area, for his final two seasons.
"You feel almost lucky to be a part of all that for that experience and still be a part of the new arena when it was brand new," he said.
