Chuck Nessa Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Saw that. He was a fine gentleman as far as I know. He seemed like one. G'bye Dean. Quote
Eric Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Although he was known as the North Carolina coach, he was a Kansas graduate and played for Phog Allen on the 1952 national championship team. He also recommended Roy Williams to KU in 1988. John Wooden once called him the best teacher of the game. Quote
Pete B Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 I grew up in North Carolina, the son of a UNC alum who was a basketball fan and who raised me to be an avid fan as well. I went to UNC (I never applied anywhere else or entertained the notion of attending some other school) and graduated there myself (class of 1980). Dean was something of a god to all of us good Tarheels, though he would have hated to hear such a designation. He was a good and honorable man. Being a Tarheel fan in that era was one of the best experiences of my life. Quote

Wound up moving to Kansas and going to school here, but have always enjoyed the connection between the two programs. In fact my oldest son just graduated from Carolina last spring. Quote

medjuck Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Wasn't he known as the only man who could hold Michael Jordan to single digit scoring? Edited March 27, 2015 by medjuck Quote
