Fans, players, legends pay tribute to North Carolina's Dean Smith

Posted Feb 23, 2015
Susan and Sherry Dennis had to be here. It didn’t matter that mother and daughter had been snowed in for the past four days. Or that they lived in Hendersonville, N.C, 240 miles from Chapel Hill. Or that Sherry has cerebral palsy. All that mattered most was that former North Carolina coach Dean Smith was going to be honored with a public memorial on Sunday in the arena that bears his name and they knew they needed to be there.
