I'm a longtime UNC fan. As a kid, I dreamed of wearing the powder blue and playing for Coach Smith. Alas, I never turned out to be the player that I had hoped to be (too short for my position) that would get me there. But I always had admiration for how he ran that program. As clean as it could possibly be.
The players always showed respect, and as you had mentioned, nearly all of them graduated. As a matter of fact, I believe that Jordan went back and actually finished his degree while he was playing with the Bulls. He was a great example to follow and a great teacher and leader of young men as a coach.
