Good read, thanks.

It's funny they mention Dean Smith was the only one to hold Jordan to under 20. I still remember some other team running the 4 corner offense against #1 Virgina (I believe that's who it was) and losing something like 20-12. I also read once that while at Clemson, Rick Barnes one time stood up to Smith which shocked him but at the same time made him gain respect for Barnes.

That fact went unnoticed by me too.

I did not notice the date of the original post- thought it was related to the current March madness.

But back to the story. Smith left $200 to EVERY letterman he had and said to go have a nice dinner. How cool is that?
