It warms my heart that nearly 30 years after he retired, Coach Smith is still being spoken of in this manner, especially by someone like Magic Johnson. Coach's impact is still being felt long after he's left the game.
Earvin “Magic” Johnson was this year's recipient of the Dean Smith Award by the @USBWA.
@MagicJohnson was recruited by Coach Smith and says of all the accolades, this one was personal and meaningful.

Look, here's the thing. 5 years ago, I blasted off several Tweets expressing my disappointment in the hiring of Hubert Davis. I thought it was lazy and a typical Carolina family hire. I deleted them a day later and gave my entire support to Hubert, hoping for the best. 🧵
I so badly wanted Hubert to succeed. Now, they hire Michael Malone, someone who wouldn't even be on the radar if he didn't have a daughter at Carolina. So I did what I did 5 years ago, and Tweeted my displeasure. This time I won't delete them However... 🧵
I will once again throw my complete support behind our coach. I'm very hopeful he can turn things around. So this is me walking back my initial thoughts on the hire to make way for a more optimistic outlook on Carolina basketball. I truly, truly, truly hope UNC got this right.
This list is absolutely ridiculous and will only fuel the narrative that Carolina can’t get their guy when all of them say no. Hurley and TJ are not candidates for this job.
ESPN is reporting that North Carolina’s top-tier target list includes Dan Hurley, who could get a call if he hasn’t already
I don’t see Danny leaving UConn if they reach out, but it can’t hurt to call.
