Biography

Whittenburg was a member of the NC State Wolfpack team that won the 1983 NCAA national title. Whittenburg shot the airball that Lorenzo Charles grabbed for the game-winning dunk. Whittenburg and Sidney Lowe were the two starting guards for NC State; they played high school basketball together at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland.

Whittenburg was a high school All-America for Morgan Wootten. He was an N.C.

He was a third-round draft choice for the Phoenix Suns (51st overall) in the 1983 NBA Draft. Prior to coaching at Wagner he served as an assistant at N.C.
