We had just finished our last game of JV basketball in March of 1972 at South Rowan High School in China Grove, N.C. Our coach said that if we wanted to have a chance to play basketball on the varsity level, we better work on our game throughout the summer and go to a basketball camp if possible. As soon as I got home, I opened the Salisbury Post and as usual went straight for the sports page. The first thing that I saw was an advertisement for a basketball camp at Campbell College in Buies Creek, N.C. The ad called it the best camp in the country with famous coaches and players that would be the instructors and counselors. The list included John Wooden and Press Maravich as the top 2 coaches, and Tom McMillan, George Leman and many other famous ACC players. Then, I saw it. The last part of the ad said that Pete Maravich would put on a clinic for the campers on Friday.
