Sometime in the late 70s, when he was the head coach at Hoke County High School in rural North Carolina, Tubby Smith received something in the mail. It was a check. It was from Dean Smith. Tubby Smith had sent his son, G.G., to attend Dean Smith’s basketball camp on UNC’s campus a few weeks prior. The check, as Tubby Smith remembers, was “a refund.”
