    Money Quote:


    As Gov. Bill Haslam passed by the window, Smith's wife, Angie, flagged him down. There is something you can do, she told the governor: Find Coach K. Mike Krzyzewski, legendary coach of the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team for more than 35 years, was Smith's hero. ...........

    That afternoon, Krzyzewski called Smith's wife. He encouraged her to stay strong, and then recorded a special message for Smith.

    This is Coach. I have an important message for you.

    You're on a great team down there in Chattanooga, with all the doctors and the medical staff. But I need you to do your part. I need you to be strong.

    The basketball season starts in the fall. We want you sitting courtside.

    We want you ready to get into the game.
