Learning 's A Gift, Even When "pain"

Other Than My Parents, No One Had A Bigger Influence On My Life Than Coach Smith. He Was More Than A Coach – He Was My Mentor, My Teacher, My Second Father. Coach Was Always There For Me Whenever I Needed Him And I Loved Him For It. In Teaching Me The Game Of Basketball, He Taught Me About Life. My Heart Goes Out To Linnea And Their Kids. We've Lost A Great Man Who Had An Incredible Impact On His Players, His Staff And The Entire Unc Family.

Suddenly All Is Quiet. The Other Nine Players? They're All Moving In Slow Motion! I'm At Normal Speed! I Know Where Everyone's Going Even Before They Know Themselves. The Basket Is Huge, Maybe Six Feet Across! How Can I Miss? It's Like Throwing A Rock Into A Pond.

There Will Be A Player Greater Than Me.

Even When I'm Old And Grey, I Won't Be Able To Play It, But I'll Still Love The Game.

Nothing Of Value Comes Without Being Earned.
