Honoring Dean
Posted Jun 30, 2011
Dean Smith motioned for the crowd to sit down as he entered Memorial Auditorium on Wednesday evening, but this was one time the Tar Heel faithful wouldn’t listen to its coach. On a night honoring three coaching legends, Smith unsuccessfully tried to stay out of the spotlight as he accepted a Naismith Good Sportsmanship Award along with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and the late N.C. State women's basketball coach Kay Yow.
