David Chadwick: The 3 key things Dean Smith taught Roy Williams

Posted Apr 4, 2017
I had the privilege of playing basketball for UNC in the 1970s.

He is a friend. After Monday’s championship victory, I conjectured what he learned from Coach Smith that has made him so successful in his own right. (Charlotte Observer)
