A Special Connection: Dean Smith and Hugh Morton

Posted Feb 21, 2015

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)
