Lennie Rosenbluth, star of UNC's '57 title team, dies at 89

June 19, 2022 by CBS 17

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) – Lennie Rosenbluth, who led North Carolina to its first basketball national title in 1957 with a victory over Wilt Chamberlain and Kansas in the championship game, died Saturday. He was 89.

The school announced Rosenbluth’s death but did not provide a cause.

Rosenbluth and his wife, Dianne, moved to the Chapel Hill area just over a decade ago, and he had been a regular at UNC home games since.

Born and raised in the Bronx, Rosenbluth joined coach Frank McGuire and the Tar Heels in 1955 and was an all-Atlantic Coast Conference honoree in each of his three seasons.
