McGuire, while coaching at Chapel Hill quite some years back, produced an undefeated Tarheel quint that trounced Kansas and its superstar, Wilt Chamberlain, to cop the NCAA crown.

Kentucky's shrewd mentor, Adolph Rupp, who has been a general in the basketball wars for 43 years,doesn't find itnec- essary to have someone brief him on New Bern's Bill Bunt ing.
