What separated UNC from the others? Antawn Jamison: "For one, it was the coach – Coach Smith. You go visit other universities and they’ll tell you, ‘We’ll make you the best basketball player, this and that.’ Coach Smith said, ‘I can’t promise you’ll make it to the NBA, but you’re going to get an education here and you’re going to learn the right way to play the game.’"
