Carolina Way Friday: Volume 11
Posted Jun 23, 2023
"Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Together." That was Dean Smith’s coaching philosophy. And while "The Carolina Way" extends beyond the court, that mantra is what Tar Heel basketball represents to so many people. Each Friday, we’ll select a handful of plays that feature at least one component of Coach Smith’s philosophy. Play 1: UNC vs. Kentucky (1981-82).
