Longtime UNC coach Bill Guthridge will be remembered for loyalty, decency

Posted May 13, 2015
As always, Bill Guthridge has followed Dean Smith. Guthridge, the beloved former assistant coach to Smith for 30 years at North Carolina, died Tuesday night. He was 77. Rarely has one man ever been more loyal to another than Guthridge was to Smith. He was Smith's closest friend and right-hand man for three decades on the UNC bench, turning down multiple chances to go run his own program elsewhere. (Charlotte Observer)
