Year one of the College Football Playoff was a rousing success but it remains to be seen how year two does with the semi-finals set to be played on New Years Eve. There is still a lot of debate on whether or not to expand the College Football Playoff to include more teams after the […]

It’s a more common kind of task to identify a coach’s greatest games or a team’s most significant moments. However, what about the under-the-radar games which gave rise to a coach’s biggest achievements? For instance: North Carolina State could not have won the 1983 national title with that remarkable win over Houston had it not […]

Martin Luther King, Jr. Rosa Parks. Jackie Robinson. Dean Smith. While leading on the court, Dean Smith took an even more impactful leadership role in life as a civil rights leader in a newly desegregated South in the 1960s. Many know that Smith brought in the ACC’s first African-American player in Charlie Scott. What is […]

Significant games can be great, and great games can be significant, but they don’t always overlap — far from it. The 1982 NCAA Tournament national championship game (North Carolina 63, Georgetown 62) is quite possibly the greatest basketball game Dean Smith ever coached in, and it’s on the short list of the most significant games […]

On Friday, the story hit: The postseason NIT will experiment with a 30-second shot clock, down from the current 35-second clock. It’s also true that the restricted area underneath the basket (governing block-charge calls) will be expanded from three to four feet, but the shot clock is rightly seen as the much bigger story.

There’s a dark underside to just about every good thing in life. In the town with the fun, vibrant nightlife, it’s the unmarked club down a small alley where you need a password to get in; it’s the best restaurant in town, just as long as you don’t go in the kitchen and ruin it […]

For many Americans, Dean Smith is best known as the man who coached Michael Jordan in college. Smith is, quite simply, the man who mentored one of America’s two greatest team-sport athletes from the 20th century, Babe Ruth being the other. (Muhammad Ali, of course, didn’t play a team sport.) Dean Smith also won 879 […]

The people who interviewed Dean Smith as part of their jobs, who traveled with him as North Carolina entrenched itself […]

John Thompson III was worried about the Georgetown students swarming the floor after the Hoyas’ January 15 win over Villanova. It turns out that the Wildcats were just as swarming on both sides of the ball on Saturday, exacting a measure of revenge on Georgetown. Villanova shot lights out from the perimeter, building a large […]
