Coach Danny Roberts
Danny Roberts, a 2003 inductee into the Campbell Athletics Hall of Fame who led Campbell's men's basketball and golf teams to national prominence, passed away Feb. 5 at the age of 88.  A former two-sport athlete at Campbell, Roberts led the Camels to the 1977 NAIA men's basketball title game and through the program's transition to the NCAA Division I level.  He served as head men's basketball coach of the Camels from Jan. 1969 through 1983 and guided the program to 233 victories, most ever among Campbell Basketball Coaches.  Roberts led the team to four 20-win seasons through 1977, then guided Campbell through its first six years as a Division I independent.  He was a three-time District Coach of the Year and served as Director of the Campbell Basketball School from 1969-83.
