Legendary North Carolina head coach Dean Smith passed away back in February, but before he died, he made a touching addition to his will: Smith sent $200 to each and every one of his former players, telling them to “have a dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith”.
Smith’s most influential recruiting class, the freshmen Class of 1965, took it one step further. As detailed by the Greensboro News & Record, the five-member class — who still remain close 50 years later — will all meet for lunch with their wives at university’s Alumni Center on Wednesday.
