I know this is a baseball forum, but a coaching legend has passed. I am sure there is something all of us can learn by considering his great achievements. I know there are a lot of members from North Carolina, perhaps one of you has a personal story to tell.
I'll never forget the national championship game against Georgetown where the Georgetown player accidentally threw the ball to James Worthy to end the game. Sometimes to win a championship, you first have to get there and be competitive enough for something like that to happen. Also, never forget Michael Jordan - the freshman hitting the game winning shot. RIP Coach Smith.
