Jim Calhoun Remembers Dean Smith: 'Father Figure'


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 like crazy," Calhoun recalled, looking back on his career in 2012. "They took us in, and was an assistant, was an assistant, was an assistant, and [Smith] said, 'we don't have a team here, we have a program.'" (Hartford Courant)
