A Special Connection: Dean Smith and Hugh Morton

Posted Feb 21, 2015
On Sunday, February 22nd, there will be a very special gathering in the Smith Center on the UNC campus to celebrate the life of Dean E. Smith. There will be players and former players...coaches and former coaches...students and former students. And I choose to believe there will be a very special section that will not be visible to those of us in the arena—and Smith, Bill Friday, and Hugh Morton will be seated there. (A View to Hugh)
