Mike O'Koren: ACC Legends Class 2013
Posted Feb 26, 2013
Looking back, what are the main things you took away from playing for Dean Smith? Mike O'Koren: "You learned to be unselfish, you learned to make the extra pass, you learned to defend. All the aspects of basketball, you were taught by a genius coach, and a genius staff, in my opinion. And then you were taught to be a young man, and to be responsible in what you did and how you acted."
