Early years

Smith was born in Emporia, Kansas, on February 28, 1931. Emporia is a city in and the County seat of Lyon County, Kansas, United States. Kansas ( is a Midwestern state in the central region of the United States of America, an area often referred to as the American " Events 202 BC - coronation ceremony of Liu Bang as Emperor Gaozu of Han takes place initiating four centuries of the Han Dynasty 's rule Year 1931 ( MCMXXXI) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1931 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. [6][7] Both of his parents were public school teachers. [6] Smith's father, Alfred, coached the Emporia High Spartans basketball team to the 1934 state title in Kansas. [6] This 1934 team was notable for having the first African-American basketball player in Kansas tournament history. African Americans or Black Americans are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa [6] While at Topeka High School, Smith lettered in basketball all four years and was named all-state in basketball as a senior. [6][8] Smith's interest in sports was not limited only to basketball. Smith also played quarterback for his high school football team and catcher for the high school baseball team. [8]

College years

After graduating from high school, Smith attended the University of Kansas on an academic scholarship where he majored in mathematics and joined the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta. The University of Kansas (often referred to as KU or just Kansas) is a public research university with campuses located in Lawrence, Kansas City Origins of Phi Gamma Delta Historical sketch of Jefferson College In 1803 only a small percentage of Americans attended college [9][8] While at Kansas, Smith continued his interest in sports by playing varsity basketball, varsity baseball, and freshman football. During his time on the varsity basketball team, Kansas won the national championship in 1952 and finished second in 1953. [8][9] Smith's basketball coach during his time at Kansas was the legendary Forrest "Phog" Allen, who had been coached in college by the inventor of basketball James Naismith. Forrest Clare "Phog" Allen, DO ( November 18, 1885 – September 16, 1974) was an American collegiate basketball James A Naismith (November 6 [9] After graduation, Smith served as assistant coach at Kansas in the 1953–54 season. [10] Ironically, after leaving Kansas, Smith watched with disappointment as the University of Kansas team that he had helped coach lost to UNC in the 1957 national championship game in triple overtime. [11]

Early years in basketball coaching

Smith next served a stint in the United States Air Force in Germany, later working as a head coach of United States Air Force Academy's baseball and golf teams. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. The United States Air Force Academy ( USAFA or Air Force) is an accredited college for the undergraduate education of officers for the United States Air [10] Yet, Smith's big break would come in the United States. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the In 1958, North Carolina coach Frank McGuire asked Smith to join his staff as an assistant coach. Frank Joseph McGuire ( November 8 1914 - November 11 1994) was an American athletic coach who gained his greatest renown in collegiate [10] Smith served under McGuire for three years until 1961, when McGuire was forced to resign by Chancellor William Aycock in the wake of recruiting scandals. William Brantley Aycock (born 1915 is an American educator who served as chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1957 until 1964 and is the retired [10] Aycock asked Smith, then 30 years old, to become the new head coach to replace McGuire beginning in fall 1961. [10]

Coaching years at the University of North Carolina

Smith's first season in 1961 as coach of North Carolina did not open smoothly. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) had canceled the Dixie Classic, an annual basketball tournament in North Carolina, due to a national point shaving scandal that included three N.C. State players (Don Gallagher, Stan Niewierowski, and Terry Litchfield) and one North Carolina player (Lou Brown). The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC is a collegiate athletic league in the United States. The Dixie Classic was an annual college basketball tournament played from 1949-1961 in Reynolds Coliseum. Point shaving, in organized Sports is a type of Match fixing where the perpetrators try to prevent a team from covering a published point spread. North Carolina State University at Raleigh is a public, Coeducational extensive Research University located in Raleigh North Carolina [12] As a result of the scandal, both N. C. State and North Carolina de-emphasized basketball by cutting their regular-season schedules. In Smith's first season from 1961–62, North Carolina played only 17 games and went 8-9. [10][13] As it turned out, this would be the only losing season he would ever suffer. In 1965, he was famously hanged in effigy on the university campus after a disappointing loss to Wake Forest. Wake Forest University is a private, coeducational University in North Carolina, founded in 1834 [10] After that game, his team ended up winning nine of the last eleven games. [14] After a slow beginning, Smith turned the program into a consistent success. After the 1966 season, Smith would never finish lower than third in the ACC. [15] His first major successes came in the late 1960s, when his teams won three consecutive regular-season and tournament championships in the ACC, and went to three straight Final Fours. The NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship is a single elimination Tournament held each spring featuring 65 College basketball teams in the It took Smith seven trips to the Final Four before winning his first national title, and then it took him nine more years to return, and two more to get another national championship. [16]

First National Championship

Dean Smith's first national championship occurred in 1982, when the team was composed of future NBA players such as Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Sam Perkins. Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17 1963 is a retired American professional Basketball player and active businessman James Ager Worthy (born February 27 1961 in Gastonia North Carolina) is a retired American college and professional Basketball player Samuel Bruce Perkins (born June 14 1961, in Brooklyn, New York) is a retired American professional Basketball player [17] Before entering in the NCAA Tournament, North Carolina had a record of 32-2. [18] Upon reaching the Final Four, the other teams that advanced with North Carolina were Georgetown, Houston and Louisville. Georgetown University is a Jesuit Private university located in Georgetown Washington D The University of Houston (often referred to as " U of H," " UH," or " Houston " is a public doctoral/research The University of Louisville (also known as U of L) is a public University in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. In the semi-finals, North Carolina defeated Houston 68-63 in New Orleans while Georgetown defeated Louisville with the score of 50-46. New Orleans (nʲuːˈɔrliənz nʲuːˈɔrlənz French: La Nouvelle-Orléans) is a major United States port city and the largest city in Louisiana


The 1982 NCAA Division 1 Championship Game was between the Georgetown Hoyas, led by Patrick Ewing, versus the North Carolina Tar Heels, led by Worthy, Perkins and a young Jordan. The Georgetown University Men's Basketball team (which like all sports teams at Georgetown University, is named the Georgetown Hoyas) is a well-known basketball Patrick Aloysius Ewing (born August 5 1962 is an American retired Hall of Fame Basketball player and current assistant coach for the National Basketball James Ager Worthy (born February 27 1961 in Gastonia North Carolina) is a retired American college and professional Basketball player Samuel Bruce Perkins (born June 14 1961, in Brooklyn, New York) is a retired American professional Basketball player Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17 1963 is a retired American professional Basketball player and active businessman

The game was evenly matched throughout. However, with 17 seconds left in the clock, and the Tar Heels behind by 1 point, Jordan made the game-winning shot, 63-62. On Georgetown's ensuing possession Hoya guard Fred Brown mistakenly passed the ball to Worthy. Worthy attempted to dribble out the clock, but was fouled with two seconds remaining. Despite missing both free throws, Georgetown had no timeouts left. The Hoyas missed a halfcourt shot and lost the game.

Second National Championship

In 1993, fielding players such as George Lynch, Eric Montross, Brian Reese, Donald Williams and Derrick Phelps, the team started out with an 8-0 record and was ranked #5 in the country before losing to #6 ranked Michigan on a last second shot. George DeWitt Lynch III (born September 3 1970, in Roanoke Virginia) is a retired American professional Basketball player in the NBA Eric Scott Montross (born September 23 1971 in Indianapolis Indiana) is a retired American professional Basketball player who played in the Donald Williams may refer to Donald Williams (1919&ndash1990 British Conservative Party politician Derrick Michael Phelps (born July 31 1972 in Queens, New York) is an American professional Basketball player Wins over Duke, Wake Forest and Florida State during the final games of the season placed the Tar Heels as the top seed in the ACC tournament. The tournament was eventually won by Georgia Tech, which faced North Carolina without the injured Derrick Phelps in the final match. Starting at the national tournament, North Carolina defeated East Carolina, Rhode Island and Cincinnati while playing in the regionals. After defeating Kansas in the semi-finals, North Carolina was set to play Michigan in New Orleans. Stacked with Chris Webber and the rest of the Fab Five, the Michigan squad could not defeat North Carolina again as they did earlier in the season. [19]

Retirement

Smith announced his retirement on October 9, 1997. Events 768 - Carloman I and Charlemagne are crowned Kings of The Franks. Year 1997 ( MCMXCVII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1997 Gregorian calendar He had said that if he ever felt he could not give his team the same enthusiasm he had given it for years, he would retire. [20] His announcement was a shock to the basketball community and fans, as he had given little warning that he was considering retirement. Smith had been the only coach many North Carolina fans had ever known. Bill Guthridge, his assistant for 30 years, succeeded him as head coach. Bill Guthridge (born July 27, 1937 in Parsons Kansas) is a retired American Basketball coach

Even in retirement, some believe that Smith still has a large influence on the current North Carolina basketball program. For example, in 2003 Smith talked to Roy Williams regarding his decision about whether or not to replace a struggling Matt Doherty as head coach. Roy Allen Williams (born August 1, 1950) is head coach of the men's Basketball team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. For the former Northern Irish footballer see Matt Doherty (footballer. [21] Williams had previously declined the head coaching position three years earlier when Guthridge retired. [22]

Coaching style

Smith-coached teams varied in style, depending on the players Smith had available. But they generally featured a fast-break style, a half-court offense that emphasized the passing game, and an aggressive trapping defense that produced turnovers and easy baskets. His teams always shot the ball well. From 1970 until his retirement, North Carolina shot over 50% from the floor all but four years.

Smith is credited with creating or popularizing the following basketball techniques: The "tired signal," in which a player would use a hand signal (originally a raised fist) to indicate that he needed to come out for a rest,[23][24] huddling at the free throw line before a foul shot,[23][24] encouraging players who scored a basket to point a finger at the teammate who passed them the ball, in honor of the passer's selflessness. [23][24] Instituting a variety of defensive sets in one game,[23][25] having the point guard call out the defense set for the team,[23][25] and creating a number of defensive sets, including the point zone, the run-and-jump, and double-teaming the screen-and-roll. [8]

But strategically, Smith is most associated with his implementation of the four corners offense, a strategy for stalling with a lead near the end of the game. The four corners offense was an offensive strategy for stalling in College basketball. Smith's teams executed the four corners set so effectively that in 1985, the NCAA instituted a shot clock to speed up play and minimize ball-control offense. [26][8] Although fellow Kansas alum John McClendon actually invented the four corners offense, Smith is better known for utilizing it in games. The University of Kansas (often referred to as KU or just Kansas) is a public research university with campuses located in Lawrence, Kansas City John B McLendon Jr ( April 15, 1915 &ndash October 8, 1999) was an American Basketball coach [23] Smith is also the author of Basketball: Multiple Offense and Defense, which is the best-selling technical basketball book in history. [2]

Smith also instituted the practice of starting all his team's seniors on the last home game of the season ("Senior Day") as a way of honoring the contributions of the subs as well as the stars. [27] In one season when the team included six seniors, he opted to put all six on the floor at the beginning of the game – drawing a technical foul – rather than leave one of them out. In Basketball, a technical foul (also known as a "T" or a "Tech" is any infraction of the rules penalized as a foul which does not involve physical contact [28]

During the 1993 run for the national title, Coach Smith used a method that was introduced to him. At a conference in Switzerland, Smith was presented a tape of a lecturer who used doctored images to achieve his goal of losing weight. The photo showed him of what he will look like if he was thin, which gave him motivation to reach that goal. Using this tactic in mind, Smith took a picture of the scoreboard from the 1982 Championship and modified it to say 1993 and erased the name Georgetown and left it blank. He proceeded to place copies of the photo in all of the lockers so the players can look at it and achieve the goal that Smith wanted. [19]

Political activities

Smith is one of the most prominent liberals in North Carolina politics. Politically, he is best known for promoting desegregation. Desegregation is the process of ending Racial segregation, most commonly used in reference to the United States. In 1964, Smith joined a local pastor and a black North Carolina theology student to integrate The Pines, a Chapel Hill restaurant. He also integrated the Tar Heels basketball team by recruiting Charlie Scott as the university's first black scholarship athlete. Charles Thomas Scott (born December 15, 1948 in New York City, New York) is an American former professional Basketball [34] In 1965, Smith helped Howard Lee, a black graduate student at North Carolina, purchase a home in an all-white neighborhood. [8] He opposed the Vietnam War and, in the early 1980s, famously recorded radio spots to promote a freeze on nuclear weapons. He has been a prominent opponent of the death penalty. In 1998, he appeared at a clemency hearing for a death-row inmate and pointed at then-Governor Jim Hunt: "You're a murderer. James Baxter Hunt Jr (born May 16, 1937 in Wilson NC) is a former four-term Democratic Governor of the U And I'm a murderer. The death penalty makes us all murderers. " As head coach, he periodically held North Carolina basketball practices in North Carolina prisons. [35]

While coach, he was recruited by some in the Democratic Party to run for the United States Senate against incumbent Jesse Helms. The Democratic Party is one of two major Political parties in the United States, the other being the Republican Party. The United States Senate is the Upper house of the bicameral United States Congress, the Lower house being the House of Representatives Jesse Alexander Helms Jr (October 18 1921 – July 4 2008 was a five-term Republican United States Senator from North Carolina who served as chairman He declined. But in retirement, he has continued to speak out on issues such as the war in Iraq, death penalty and gay rights.

The Governor of North Carolina is the top executive of the government of the U [37][38] In 2006, Smith became the spokesperson for Devout Democrats, an inter-faith, grassroots political action committee designed to convince religious Americans to vote for Democrats.

One hallmark of Smith's tenure as coach was the concept of the "Carolina Family," the idea that anyone associated with the program was entitled to the support of others. Many of his former players and coaching staff became successful basketball coaches and executives, including:
