Absolutely unreal story about Dean Smith

Great story.

Another favorite Dean Smith story is in his will, he bought dinner for every former player that he had after he had passed away.  They all received a check for $200.

Late North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith, who died last month, willed his trust to send $200 to each player who lettered under him, Tim Breedlove, who wrote the letter, confirmed to SI.com.

 

Quote

In the letter Smith's former players received from Miller McNeish & Breedlove, PA, it was revealed that Smith requested each of his former players be sent a $200 check with the message, "enjoy a dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith." The enclosed checks also included the notation, "Dinner out."

By SI's count, Smith coached 184 players from 1961 to 1997.
