sports talk radio here in charlotte is pretty emotional today

got duke, nc state, unc fans and everyone in between calling sharing what dean meant to them. its amazing.

David Glenn out here in Raleigh (I think he's still simulcast on some stations in the Carolinas) just had President Obama on showing love to Coach Smith... :wow: :salute:

The story about Dean Smith and Grant Hill is crazy...shows more about Dean Smith than it does about Grant Hill.

Long story short, Dean Smith drove from UNC to Virginia to have dinner at the Hill residence one night in order to recruit Hill to Duke. Shows up, Grant Hill basically paid no mind to Dean Smith all night, then cuts out of dinner early cause he "had homework to do". Hill decided he was going to Duke about a week before Smith and his parents arranged the dinner. Once Grant cuts out of dinner early, Dean asks what's wrong and if Grant is okay, and Hill's parents tell Dean that he already committed to Duke. Amazingly, unlike most other coaches, Dean Smith keeps his cool and does not lose his shyt. All Smith says is "I wish you would've told me, I could've been having dinner with my family."

Legend.

UNC printed Dean Smith memorial issues of their free campus paper. Some people took all the papers and were scalping them so UNC printed up 7,500 more copies so everyone could get a free copy.

That's not his recruiting class. The only part I messed up on was I think it was matt dautry who brought those players in. Roy Williams has not produced a great NBA player. Think about it.....

RIP Coach Smith. You're the reason I bought my carolina, carolina, carolina, white sweatshirt non-hoodie back in '93. Still rooted against you when you played the Fab 5, but always respected you as a leader of men. Rest in peace, friend...
