55 years ago, UNC men's basketball coaching legend Dean Smith was hanged in effigy

On Jan. 6, 1965, the basketball team rolled into Chapel Hill on a bus back from Winston-Salem after suffering a 107-85 demolition at the hands of the Demon Deacons. When the bus pulled in front of Woollen Gymnasium, it was met with an effigy of head coach Dean Smith, then in just his fourth year as UNC’s head coach, hanging from a tree outside of the building.
