RIP to a true legend and humanitarian. Sad to say this but the word I always got was he hasn't been alive except in the most basic ways for a long, long time. He earned his eternal rest.

Hubert Davis talked about this.

“I didn’t think I would be devastated from the standpoint, in some ways he was already gone,” Hubert Davis said. “I thought, not that I would be OK with it, but I wouldn’t be surprised, it wouldn’t be that feeling of he’s gone, the finality of it."

In recent years, Smith continued to come in to the basketball office on occasion, even as his condition grew worse. “And though I didn’t like seeing him that way, I didn’t care; I got to see him,” Davis said. “I got to give him a hug. I got to talk to him. And now I don’t get that chance to do that.”

When I went to a cross country running camp at Stanford back in 1999 and met then head coach (now at Oregon) Vin Lanana, I told my friends I met the Dean Smith of Track and field/ X/C .

R.I.P. to one of the great innovators in sports

another awesome Dean moment:

bill guthridge was his assistant for 30 years. turned down head coaching positions and was dean's loyal number 2

Dean was in good health and his 98 unc team had as much talent as any team ever. Dean waited to retire until October, way too late for the school to make an outside hire. Thus ensuring bill would get the job.

Class act

Guthridge and Ed Cota held it down after Dean retired
