North Carolina fans and students alike lined up to get a paper honoring the legendary coach
After the basketball world lost one of their greatest minds yesterday, people poured into the streets and social media to give thanks one last time to Dean Smith. Smith transcended the game of basketball, winning national championships, an Olympic medal, recruiting African American players while standing up against racism and making sure his players graduated.
