    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)

    Or at least get members of the audience to chant, "&%^$ Dean Smith!" during the presentation?

    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.
    Hard at work making beautiful things.

    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."

    We can knock Smith as a coach, but his leadership in Civil Rights, at a time when it was highly unpopular in NC to do so, is where his real greatness lies.

    As stated above, I already put down and picked back up the rivarly. So it's not possible for me to spork you. I'd have to put down the rivalry again, you know. I can't do that two times in a day.

    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.

    True. I had a white professor who went to UNC as an undergrad at the time who told us how when she marched for civil rights her parents completely disowned her and they never spoke again.

    I see LeBron's definition of the word "humbled" has caught on.

    One of my pet peeves. Along with the misuse of the pronoun “I” as an object.
