Jerry Stackhouse Trying to "Echo" Dean Smith at Vanderbilt
Posted Jun 30, 2020
Jerry Stackhouse, now the head coach at Vanderbilt, is attempting to rekindle some of Dean Smith’s magic in Nashville. The former NBA All-Star is using some of the basics he learned under the legendary coach to help resurrect the program. “I’m teaching the same principles, that same foundation, and fundamental things that I learned [at UNC],” Stackhouse said.
