Roy Williams: 'I am happy' for Coach K
North Carolina coach Roy Williams can’t help but “hate it” that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski could pass Dean Smith - one of Williams’ mentors - on the all-time wins list, as soon as Tuesday night. But at the same time, he can’t help but respect it, too. “I think that Mike said this, I think he said that Coach Smith had set the standard for all the other coaches, or something...

Seeing Dean Smith
I saw Dean Smith at the Carolina game on Tuesday night. That’s not surprising, really. I see him at every game. All of us do. Not literally at the game, of course. From the moment he retired in October of 1997, he said he was going to be scarce at the games, preferring to watch them in solitude at his home. Within the first few games of the 1997-98 season, he was commenting about how...

ACC Teams (Not Named Duke) Underwhelm
The traditionally basketball-rich Atlantic Coast Conference can boast that it has Duke, the reigning national champion and unanimous No. 1 team. Too bad it can’t really brag about any of its other 11 teams right now. For the third straight week, the Blue Devils are the ACC’s lone representative in the AP top-25 poll. It’s incredibly uncommon for the conference to have such a...
