Student Success Statement

“I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do the right thing.”

Dean Smith

I think maybe what he means by this quote is that because he retired from coaching a team people assume that he was trying to leave a legacy but that is not true. He left because he felt it was the right thing to do for himself, family and his team because he needed time to retire; he needed to be with his family, and his team to try to win that legacy without him to see if they could do it.
