Tudor: It's clear now that Dean Smith retired too early

Posted Aug 13, 2013
In retrospect, Dean Smith’s premature exit was a mistake on all fronts. Bill Guthridge was completely content in the role of a lifetime assistant and the Smith/Guthridge combo would have been weakened had Guthridge retired early. But there’s also the fact that Dean did it his way, which was entirely predictable. As a coach, he was stubbornly competitive. (WRAL Sports Fan)
