More from Dean Smith
I enjoy coaching basketball, but it's the out-of-season things that I haven't been able to handle very well.... Every April I feel like, 'Oh gosh,' and then I get charged up again.... Watching Larry Brown out on the court with all his enthusiasm made me say, 'I used to be like that.' But I can't give this team that enthusiasm.
He went on, did a good job and lived happily ever after and loved his players and received love in return.
I can’t find one (player) that came to Chapel Hill and thinks they made a mistake coming here.
