From the August 2nd Wilmington (NC) Star News Back Then Column.
The August 3, 1961, paper was full of stories about the departure of head North Carolina basketball coach Frank McGuire and his replacement, one Dean Smith, at age 30.
Frank McGuire had led the 1957 Tarheel squad to an NCAA Championship with a perfect 32-0 record. McGuire was leaving to take over coaching duties at the Philadelphia Warriors of the NBA.
After awhile, Dean Smith obviously made folks forget about McGuire.
