Cheating Coaches. Cheated athletes. As March Madness is upon us, I remember feeling good about this story when I wrote it awhile back. Here it is again.
When Dean Smith died I wrote about his outstanding life -- as a basketball coach at UNC and as a human being. He championed civil rights in the south when it was unpopular and dangerous. He stayed in touch with his players long after they graduated. Some of them say they consulted "Coach" before making any big life decisions because they trusted him completely.
Now comes more good news about Dean Smith. In his will, he has left $200 to each of his students who earned a Varsity letter at UNC. He encouraged them to enjoy a great dinner as his treat.
We can use a little of this now, right?
Very, very nice to read about good people! Thanks, Joan
