"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy, I was trying to do what was right"- Dean Smith
Dean Smith was a very special college basketball coach who
was and continues to be admired by so many people. He had a great impact on his
players and on his students. He has a total of 879 wins and two national
titles, his wins were surpassed but he is ranked 9th place in college
basketball wins. I believe he has a great impact on everyone who is interested
in this sport, not only that but anyone who is able to define good character.
He was a very humble man he did all that is done just to do the right thing and
as he did following his own conscious. Long after his players had graduated he
continued to yearly write them a letter to keep in touch. He was a great man
and truly inspirational. He thought of himself unworthy of the items others
wanted to name after him. After each win he would console the other coach
before celebrating and congratulating his own team. His players did not only
see him as a coach but as a father figure as well. He was looked up upon by the
majority of people he knew. He was truly loved by all.
