Three Things: A Letter From Coach Smith

Posted Jun 5, 2017
The letter, now 34 years old, hangs in the Carolina Basketball Museum. There are typos and handwritten notes, and Dean Smith didn’t sign it—all indications that this might be a rough draft. “Michael, if you do improve on these items we mentioned, you will be a better basketball player, and, consequently, our team should be better and have a chance to win it all in Seattle next year.” (WRAL Sports Fan)
