Dean Smith, R.I.P.

Composed and posted on February 9, 2015

Received news this past week about the passing of Dean Smith, the legendary North Carolina basketball coach.

I must admit that I was never that enamored with Dean Smith's coaching style. I often felt as though he did not take full advantage of the talented players that he had and his four corners offense was often like watching paint dry.  However, with the passage of time and with a fuller understand of the Life Lessons that he taught along with the basketball lessons, I have come to regard Dean Smith as a great man.  Please take a look at his obituary and consider the measure of the man.
