Bob McKillop and Tubby Smith are forever connected to Dean Smith and North Carolina

Posted Apr 14, 2023
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.” (MSN.com)
