The Kindness of Dean Smith
Posted Nov 21, 2013
In thinking about Coach Smith, it is important to know this. Dean Smith’s impact shouldn’t be viewed through the lens of his Hall-of-Fame coaching career. It isn’t about the wins, the titles or the innovations he brought to the game. Coach Smith’s legacy is the impact he’s had on people. It is his work ethic, his team-first coaching style and belief in family, education, ethics, and fair play that have left an indelible mark.
