This "underground railroad" brought players like Lennie Rosenbluth, Tommy Kearns, Pete Brennan, Joe Quigg and Bob Cunningham to Chapel Hill. They were the starters on McGuire's greatest team — the 1957 squad that went 32-0 and swept the NCAA title. McGuire also brought New York-area stars like York Larese, Doug Moe, Donnie Walsh, Larry Brown and Billy Cunningham to Carolina. The highlight of McGuire's Tar Heel career was the 1957 season. Rosenbluth was one of the national scoring leaders, averaging 28.0 points a game. Of Carolina's 32 victories, 13 were by 10 points or less. The 1957 Final Four in Kansas City is regarded as one of the most exciting ever played. Carolina topped Michigan State, 74-40, in a triple- overtime semifinal game. The next game the Tar Heels had to go three overtimes again before outlasting Kansas, featuring Wilt Chamberlain, 54-53. McGuire hired Dean Smith to be his top assistant prior to the 1958-59 season. Smith replaced McGuire when he moved to the NBA in 1961. As coach of the Philadelphia Warriors, he led his team to a 49-31 record. The Warriors—with Hall of Famers Paul Arizin, Tom Gola and Chamberlain— lost to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals. McGuire returned to the college ranks for the 1964-65 season at South Carolina. He compiled a 283-142 record in 16 seasons with the Gamecocks. That gave him a career record of 549-236 in 30 years. He led South Carolina to its only ACC regular-season title in 1970 and only ACC Tournament championship in 1971. McGuire, a member of the Naismith Hall of Fame, was the first coach in history to win 100 games at three schools and also to take two schools to the NCAA championship game. He remains the only man in history to win ACC titles at two schools. He was named national coach of the year three times—in 1952 at St. John's, 1957 at Carolina and 1970 at South Carolina.
