George Glamack

 One of the best players in North Carolina basketball history could hardly see the basket he was shooting at.

Nicknamed the “Blind Bomber” because of his poor eyesight and historic hook shot, George Glamack actually shot the ball based on the painted lines of the floor.

The 6-foot-7 center was an All-America selection and the recipient of the Helms Foundation Player of the Year in 1940 and 1941.

His jersey is one of the eight to be retired and hanging in the Smith Center rafters.

His single-game point total of 45 against Clemson in 1941 still ranks as the fourth-highest in UNC history.

Later that year, Glamack led UNC to a Southern Conference championship and a berth to their first-ever NCAA tournament. The Tar Heels lost to Pittsburgh by a 26-20 score in the eight-team tournament.
