Tyler Zeller: Dean Smith’s Death ‘Great Loss’ For UNC And For Basketball

Posted Feb 10, 2015
“I actually got to spend some time with (Dean Smith) early on in my college career,” Tyler Zeller said before Tuesday’s practice. “He’s a great man, somebody that’s very intelligent, knew the game extremely well, but even more importantly, that cared about you off the court, cared about who you were, cared about making sure you grew up to be a great young man.” (NESN)
