"I Do Believe in Praising That Which Deserves to be Praised..."

Posted Feb 9, 2015
Dean Smith was an educator, and I feel like his job was to educate everyone, not just his team. He would teach fans sportsmanship, preach about doing the right thing because it's the right thing, trying to impart humility in a world that was increasingly becoming "me first." He taught everyone that Family is Family, not just when they are good to you, but that everyone is important and brings a contribution. (Intimate Thoughts of Al Hood)
