Other Than My Parents, No One Had A Bigger Influence On My Life Than Coach Smith. He Was More Than A Coach – He Was My Mentor, My Teacher, My Second Father. Coach Was Always There For Me Whenever I Needed Him And I Loved Him For It. In Teaching Me The Game Of Basketball, He Taught Me About Life. My Heart Goes Out To Linnea And Their Kids. We've Lost A Great Man Who Had An Incredible Impact On His Players, His Staff And The Entire Unc Family.
