Not the greatest...not even close. K, Knight, and Wooden are all easily better.

Maybe if you just look at individual resumes you can make that argument.

But once you look at it in a broader sense much harder to make that argument

If you take into account his push for social change and equality, things he did off the court that are both well known and not so well known.

When you look at his innovation and how he actually changed the game and how it was played.

When you take into account his relationship with his players far, far after they left UNC

And when you look at his coaching trees.

If you take onto account his genuine humility and humbleness

There is no one better than Dean, and it isn't just because of his on court accomplishments.

Just my 2 cents but I am a UNC fan and biased

Nice bias post. I am a State grad and fan. Was a student in late 80s and early 90 and absolutely hated. Smith as a coach. . Still though, Will be remembered as a revered coach and great leader of men. Smith is an iconic figure who essentially created the college BBall landscape we currently have. Great coach but at least 10 X better person. RIP Dean.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
