Photo: UNC graduate honors parents (and Dean Smith) at commencement
Posted May 11, 2015
As is common at UNC's commencement, students hold up witty or unique signs. One sign seen among the graduates in the Kenan Stadium crowd gave a shoutout to Mom and Dad while referencing a certain legendary Tar Heel basketball coach who passed away this year. It was a fitting tribute to her parents, UNC, and Coach Dean Smith, who established pointing to the passer as away of honoring or showing gratitude for an assist.
