John Blackwell "Jack" Cobb (August 4, 1904 – September 9, 1966) was a college basketball player at the University of North Carolina in the 1920s. Cobb led the Tar Heels to their first undefeated season in 1924 and to three straight Southern Conference titles (1924, 1925, 1926).[1] Cobb was named national player of the year for 1926 by the Helms Athletic Foundation.[2] The 1924 team was retroactively named national champion by the Helms Foundation in 1936. After defeating Alabama in the Southern Conference tournament, some 500 students marched to Cobb's house in Durham and woke up the household with fight songs.[3] He averaged 15 points a game, then an incredible stat.[4] 6' 2" was also a large size for a player in his day.

Cobb is one of eight Tar Heels basketball players who have had their jersey retired.

Cobb's dreams of pursuing a coaching career were dashed when he had a motorcycle accident in 1929 and lost part of his lower right leg.[1] Cobb did continue to coach Little League baseball teams throughout much of his life.[2]
