Dean Smith was a great coach but I wonder how many wins


Feb 9, 2015, 2:15 PM

he would have had if during his career the shot clock was in affect. I remember many games NC won using 4 corners keeping control of the ball once they got a lead forcing teams to foul just to get control of the ball.

IMO I am not sure NC would have won as many games.

There are more knowledgeable BB fans out there and I would be interested in your thoughts and opinions about my comments.

I'll bet he beat us more than any team

And it drives me crazy with some of the last second losses

at Chapel Hill. I am not a superstitious person but sometimes I wonder if we are not cursed when we play at NC.

I think that Dean Smith was a great coach...............


Feb 9, 2015, 2:48 PM

there can be no doubt about that but I have watched him recruit and assemble so many great teams throughout the years and only 2 natl. championships. Don't get me wrong, it is difficult to win NC's and it is unbelievable that he went to so many Final Fours, but he had THE very best talent and I always felt that he should have done even more with so much. Much the same as I felt about Bobby Bowden. His teams and talent were sick! And I've taken off my orange glasses. Just trying to be honest.

Seriously? Dean Smith advocated for the shot clock


Feb 9, 2015, 2:50 PM

He knew that with a shot clock the team with the best players was going to win more often. And most of the time he had the team with the best players. He used the fact that there was no shot clock to his advantage, but he wanted the shot clock from the beginning because he knew that it would benefit his teams more than the opponents. So my guess is he would have won more.
