Another great one down. This guy had one heck of a coaching tree under him.

Won 2 National Titles, appeared in 11 Final Fours and over won 800 games as a coach.

The fact that his critics like to put him down for only winning 2 National Titles says all you need to know.

RIP to a great basketball coach and an even better human being.

He and Bobby Knight were it when I started watching and College Bball was religion to me.

RIP Coach Smith.

Great man and a great coach. I recommend His book to everyone.

He's a big reason MJ was a great player. Still remember he had the freshman carry bags of the upper classmen during games. Even Jordan.

Now freshman are thinking about $$$.

RIP Dean!

I think it's dumb. The Four Corners Offense was a scourge on college basketball.

Whatever works. His job was to win and he did that with the 4 corners offense. He had the talent to do so and took advantage. It might not be fun to watch, but it's effective and successful. They added the shot clock because of it and he still won a national championship.
