About Bob Burke Court
Bob Burke Court was named in honor of legendary coach, Bob Burke. Burke spent 33 years patrolling the sidelines in the state of North Carolina and left an indelible mark on the college basketball landscape. Burke compiled a record of 419-217 during his time at Chowan and led the then-Braves to three National Junior College Tournaments with three Sweet Sixteen appearances, including one Final Four appearance. The team posted twelve consecutive 20-plus win seasons and averaged 25 wins per season during that same span.

The court is located inside of the Hawks Athletic Center and serves as the game floor for both the volleyball and men's and women's basketball programs. The newly formed Acrobatics and Tumbling team will also make Bob Burke Court their home floor for meets beginning in 2021. The floor is resurfaced yearly to ensure maximum safety for student-athletes. The game court is flanked on both sides by full practice courts to ensure maximum practice opportunities for student-athletes and coaches. The Acrobatics and Tumbling team will have new tumbl trak mats to perform as well as other tumbling and training mats.
