Posted Feb 11, 2015
Brian Reese, an assistant under King Rice at Monmouth and a member of the Tar Heels’ 1993 national championship team, remembers the emphasis not being placed on who scored the most points, but how many passes a player deflected, how many screens someone set, and how many offensive rebounds someone grabbed. If a player wanted to buck the system and show off some individual move in practice, Dean Smith would stop everything.
