Tar Heel Firsts: UNC’s first Final Four

Posted Aug 10, 2019
After making their first NCAA Tournament in 1941, it took North Carolina a couple years to make it back. Bill Lange led them to that first tournament. However in 1944, Lange accepted the job as athletic director at Kenyon College in Ohio. To replace him, UNC brought in Ben Carnevale. He was just 29 years old and had no prior coaching experience.
