Lucas: The Quiet Competitor

Posted May 13, 2015
Bill Guthridge was consistently portrayed as a quiet gentleman. The picture most Tar Heel fans will have of him is sitting slightly behind Dean Smith, perhaps leaning over to make a point to the head coach. Only in Chapel Hill would a two-time Final Four coach, an ACC champion, and a consensus National Coach of the Year award winner be best known as an assistant. That image of Guthridge is accurate…but not complete. (GoHeels.com)
