Dean Smith's NBA dominance

Posted Feb 9, 2015
Dean Smith’s death was the top story on NBA.com Sunday morning even though Smith never coached a single game in the league. That editorial decision is a reflection of Smith’s pervasive influence on the NBA, a greater impact than any other college coach. At North Carolina, Smith coached five of the top 55 scorers in NBA history, and three of the NBA's top 25 in coaching victories. (ESPN.com)
