There’s one story that — to me — defines him. I’ve told it in the past, but it bears re-telling. In 1981, Smith very grudgingly agreed to cooperate with me on a profile for this newspaper. He kept insisting I should write about his players, but I said I had written about them. I wanted to write about him. He finally agreed.

One of the people I interviewed for the story was Rev. Robert Seymour, who had been Smith’s pastor at the Binkley Baptist Church since 1958, when he first arrived in Chapel Hill. Seymour told me a story about how upset Smith was to learn that Chapel Hill’s restaurants were still segregated. He and Seymour came up with an idea: Smith would walk into a restaurant with a black member of the church.

“You have to remember,” Reverend Seymour said. “Back then, he wasn’t Dean Smith. He was an assistant coach. Nothing more.”

Smith agreed and went to a restaurant where management knew him. He and his companion sat down and were served. That was the beginning of desegregation in Chapel Hill.

When I circled back to Smith and asked him to tell me more about that night, he shot me an angry look. “Who told you about that?” he asked.

“Reverend Seymour,” I said.

“I wish he hadn’t done that.”

“Why? You should be proud of doing something like that.”

He leaned forward in his chair and in a very quiet voice said something I’ve never forgotten: “You should never be proud of doing what’s right. You should just do what’s right.”

[Sonny Corinthos]

Allen : You expect Jessie Govan to get busy from day one ? I hope he does well

 

[al3xis]

Yeah, he'll do well and play plenty of minutes out of necessity. I think he's a pro eventually.

Went to the Seton Hall vs Marquette game on Saturday. The game it self wasn't competitive until the last 3 minutes. I really didn't like what I saw from Whitehead, 1-13 :x and he looked like he really didn't want to be there. Gibbs takes too many bad shots too and Seton Hall's interior defense was food in the paint.

Here's some pics:

Doesn't surprise me. Fits in there...doesn't seem to fit in at KU, especially with all the guards they will be returning next year.

The official story from his dad is that he has Strep Throat,all the rumors are saying it's really mono..Probably never know the real truth..His dad did go on to say that he has had strep a few times before and usually takes about 2 weeks to recoup.

if it's mono he'll be out longer than 2 weeks ....so you'll eventually know. You can shake strep in a week

Definitely think the game has slowed down for Winslow, he's been cooking the last 3 games. He's been something serious off the dribble to the rack.

 

[outkast9984]

Harry Giles cut his list to 8...duke, unc, Kentucky, kansas, wake forest,unlv, cuse, Ohio st
