This was a sad day for NCAA Basketball.

This is especially true for UNC fans like me. The UNC Tar Heels legendary coach Dean Smith just passed away last night at the age of 83. He may have been the teams most victorious coach in history who lead the Tar Heels to two NCAA championships. He had send years arm wrestling with Alzheimer's Disease.

Many people payed homage to him such as current UNC head coach Roy Williams, NBA star LeBron James, and former Tar Heels and NBA great Michael Jordan. Jordan called Coach Smith a second father to him. Even head coach of the rival Duke Blue Devils Mike "Coach K" Krzyewski payed homage to Dean Smith calling him one of the greatest coaches ever. Truly a class act on behalf of Coach K. I thoughts any prayers go to Dean Smith and his family. He will be missed.
