Oh, the irony here. And the angst this will cause Carolina fans...
But putting the rivalry down for a second (just a second), Dean Smith did some amazing things off the court. And both coaches definitely have great loyalty to their players and staff. I'm sure this honor means something to K.
(Now picking the rivalry back up)
9F
can he turn it down?
Dean knew….
I think there is no question that Coach K is very honored and humbled by this award (and he is very deserving of it as well). It's interesting to see the list of individuals who have also won the Smith award (and to speculate some of the coaches who are unlikely to ever win the award).
i think he should turn it down...he won't, but dean was a cheat and a 4-corners coward...
i sure wouldn't want an award saying that i aspired to those standards...
Coach K has achieved many honors of a higher standing. He may throw this trophy in the back of a closet.
Time doesn't heal all wounds. No warm and fuzzies for me regarding Dean. The 18 year old version of me would really lay into me, if I did.
I would say congrats and “well deserved” at the risk of pissing off some earlier posters here.
as long as he gets a free chicken dinner out of this, it's all good. Preferably not "over there."
Coach could put it in a corner!
Congratulations Coach K !
No matter what I think of the UNCheats, this is a big honor and I congratulate Coach K. My big question is how did Tom Izzo get this award before Coach K?
I’d ask if it comes with a pack of cigarettes, but someone would object.
