Dean Smith's 1993 title run proved a point
Posted Mar 29, 2012
It’s safe to say New Orleans has a special place in the heart of former UNC coach Dean Smith. This is the city where the basketball coaching legend won both of his national titles, the city that helped validate his legacy. Added former UNC radio play-by-play announcer Woody Durham: “He remembers New Orleans as a special place, anybody would if you won two national championships in that city."
