This piece originally appeared in the March 1982 issue of Inside Sports: (Dean Smith) once devoured the works of theologians Soren Kierkegaard and Paul Tillich deep in the night; now he is more likely to feed the Betamax a 1:00 a.m. basketball tape. He spends his few leisure hours playing with the one-and three-year-old children from his second marriage, golfing, listening to jazz, or sampling fine restaurants at tables tucked in corners.
