Dean Smith

This felt like scapegoating.

Because you're right, four corners, Tar Heels, Dean Smith, that's what you think of.

No, four corners, that's what Carolina has on the injury report right now.

Their four best corners are all out.

Thank you, Josh.

Don't

let them forget Dean Smith.

I'll never forget Dean Smith.

We've talked about everybody from Henry Iba and Ray Meyer to Dan Hurley and Steve Kerr.

And in between that, we've had Dean Smith and Al McGuire and Louis Karnaseka and Lisa Bluter and Pat Summitt and all of these great, great coaches.

And it's important that you learn from them.

Otherwise, you know, I wouldn't have mentioned 101 if we again, if we count Billy Tubbs and Paul Westhead, it's technically 101 coaches.

So Mia was coached by Anson Dorrance, who had 21 championships, coached the national team for soccer.

Dean Smith coached Michael Jordan.

At the time he retired, the all-time winningest coach.

He had two championships.

When you win a chip, you call me, okay, Rick Barnes? Let me know.

When you win chips like Roy Williams, like Dean Smith, call me, and you can call collect.

Until then, I don't want to hear you.

Something interesting about Rick Barnes, he's had an all-SEC first-team player on his roster for five consecutive seasons.

I mean, I expected him to talk a little bit about Michael Jordan, right? A little bit about these, talked about the coaches.

Yeah, I mean, he played for Dean Smith.

Yeah.

And he played for Pat Riley.

He was landing dudes.

Dean Smith was landing dudes.

And I think the culture change that is needed is to get back to landing dudes.

As I said earlier, I don't feel like Carolina has been doing it at the same level.

I thought your analogy was very accurate.

I thought you were going to go with the four corners offense by Dean Smith.

I mean, that's actually a pretty good analogy, too, because think about what are they doing in the four corners? Just keep the ball and burn the clock, right? That's all you're trying to do.

Well, I think another part of this conversation too, though, John is, you know, knowing, I guess, when you're to that point where you can take a knee, obviously, you know, you don't want to be taking a knee when you're down one, right.

I think we will.

But all of us that grew up in North Carolina in the 80s and 90s, all I heard was Dean Smith's the greatest coach ever because he went to 16 straight sweet 16s and he did this and won the ACC.

But he only won two titles in those 40 years.
