Long Career

McGuire, whose USC team this
year is legendary for its aggregation
of alleged "New York street
fighters", began his college
coaching career at St. John's in
New York. After attaining a 103-35
five-year record at his alma mater,
he moved on to North Carolina
where he won a national
championship in 1957 after an
undefeated 33-0 year. Nine seasons
at UNC preceded his jump to South
Carolina, where he has coached for
seven years, with one ACC
Championship (this year's) to his
credit.
