Dean Smith: TV Schedule and Preview for Showtime Documentary

Posted Mar 24, 2015
(Note: The article states that it's been "nearly a decade" since Dean Smith retired, and that he coached 27 years at UNC. Smith retired in 1997 after 36 seasons.) During his time prowling the sidelines for the North Carolina Tar Heels, Dean Smith helped set the standard for what a basketball coach should be, both in terms of on-court success and off-the-court guidance. Smith, who passed away in February at age 83, will be the subject of a Showtime documentary simply titled Dean Smith, which is set to air Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET. (Bleacher Report)
