Donald Williams, 39, is two decades removed from winning the 1993 NCAA basketball championship as a starting guard for North Carolina, and still he finds himself revisiting the lessons he learned from coach Smith. Now a coach himself, Williams has mentored young players for the last 10 years, and at each and every stop, he’s tried to spread Dean Smith’s teachings. (Daily Tar Heel)
