Late Unc Coach Willed Nearly $36,000 To Former Players

University of North Carolina coach Dean Smith spent more than 30 years at the helm of the Tar Heels basketball team before retiring in 1997. And though Smith — who never coached at any other school — passed away last month at the age of 83, he's still giving back to the players he led. Tim Breedlove, the trustee of Smith's trust, is sending letters to each of Smith's former lettermen attached to a $200 check from Smith's estate.
