Jim Calhoun Remembers Dean Smith: 'Father Figure'
Posted Feb 21, 2015
As a a young coach at Northeastern, Jim Calhoun was always looking for the best college basketball minds. In the early 1970s, he made a trip to Chapel Hill, N.C. "I had studied Dean Smith like crazy," Calhoun recalled, looking back on his career in 2012. "They took us in, and Roy Williams was an assistant, Eddie Fogler was an assistant, Bill Guthridge was an assistant, and [Smith] said, 'we don't have a team here, we have a program.'"
