Dean Smith

Dean Smith

“I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy.I was trying to do what was right.” To me, this quote means that you don’t have to live your life trying to become something unique. As long as you do what’s right, You will leave a ‘legacy’ behind. Dean Smith wasn’t the most hard working and serious coach. But he had what some other coaches didn’t. He had character, which contributed to his success. Dean Smith also had a great relationship with the people around him, such as his team. He also had great sportsmanship, which was shown at a championship game. It was a close game, but his team ended up winning the other hardworking team. He had won, then proceeded to walk and congratulate the opposing coach on a nice game. At the end of the day, they were both winners because of the connection they both had with their teams.
