Dean possessed one of the greatest basketball minds, and was a magnificent teacher and tactician All of his players benefited greatly from his basketball teachings, but even more from his ability to help mold men of integrity, honor, and purpose. These teachings, specifically, will live forever in those he touched.

Coach Smith taught me about the game of basketball. He taught me more about how to live life. He influenced me like no one else. I wish everyone could have known and learned from him. The world is a better place because of his life.
George Karl

Coach Dean Smith was a hero of mine growing up What I loved about him as a basketball coach was that he cared about his players on and off the court. Not only did he want to win ACC titles and NCAA championships, but he cared about his players character development I will always remember Coach Smith and what he did for the good of the game of basketball.
Webb Simpson

Coach Smith changed me as a person, not just in his words but also his actions. More importantly, he taught me to be loyal to those who believe in you, and no matter what for any of us in his fold, he was the one constant pillar of support without judgment. A remarkable man!
Brad Daughterly

The legacy that Dean Smith left behind should never be measured in wins and losses but in the character building he achieved while teaching young men teamwork, leadership, and the reward of hard work. It s How You Play the Game captures the essence of what one of our greatest coaches wanted to convey and leave as a gift for us all.

Coach Smith always stood for the equality of all people, whether he was Charlie Scott, Bill Chamberlain, no matter what the color of his skin. He was an incredibly consistent man who treated others how he wanted to be treated.
Bill Chamberlain

It was a privilege to have been recruited by Coach Smith when I was a high school basketball player. He inspired his players to develop their God-given talents as well as their character. He taught them the valuable life lesson of how to work together as a team. He was simply one of the finest men who ever coached the game of basketball.
Greg Keith

Listening to David preach, I could tell how much Dean Smith impacted his life. Then I realized that as David was impacting my life with his preaching, Dean Smith was impacting me too through David! From living in the state of North Carolina, I saw what a great man Coach Smith was. I hope readers will be similarly touched as they read It s How You Play the Game .

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Dean Smith s vision throughout the years has been that the team is more important than the individual. Without the team that helped me finish this project, it would have been impossible. Therefore, as Coach Smith always taught us to thank the teammate making an assist by pointing to him, I point a thank you to the following:
My close friend Rick Ray, who read the first draft of the first chapter and put more red marks on it than any teacher I ve ever had! Suzanne Martin and Christina Wilking, my two administrative assistants over the last two decades, both of whom tirelessly helped me pull together material. Thank you, Kathleen McLendon, for all your help with endorsements. Many thanks to Ron Smith and Robbi Fischer for doing research, finding quotes, and updating players and coaches present positions. Your help has been invaluable.
Max Baumgartner and the entire Leadership Team at Forest Hill Church, thank you for encouraging me to write. Without your support, I wouldn t have tried. And to all the staff at Forest Hill Church, you are incredible people, a joy with whom to work!
My new friends at Harvest House, Bob Hawkins, who believed Coach Smith s life needed to be captured and remembered, and especially Steve Miller, who tirelessly edited and re-edited my work, finding quotes for proper endnotes, making sure the book read well. He made me a much better writer! Thank you, Steve.
All the interviewees, whose lives have been touched by Coach Smith, especially Coach Guthridge, whose first year at UNC was my first year.
Coach Smith, who let me write the book despite his desire for privacy and his sincere humility, and for whom it was difficult, knowing people were talking to me about him. I hope this book allows many to learn from Coach Smith, as I have. And thanks to him for his profound, principle-centered life and leadership. It s a wonderful gift to a leadership-starved world.
My kids, Bethany, my beautiful daughter, and adopted son Ryan, you have made me proud. Thanks especially for the grandkids. To David, my very gifted and persevering basketball-playing son, and his amazing bride Jessie, you exemplify all I believe and stand for. To my committed, competitive swimmer Michael, thank you for living for God s glory alone. I m very, very proud of and thankful for you all!
Finally, this book is dedicated to Marilynn, my life partner and best friend. She was the first person with whom I shared this idea, and later, when I doubted I could do it, she insisted I go ahead. It was not an easy project, and I simply couldn t have finished it without her. Thanks for the incessant encouragement. Thank you for being the love of my life. Life has been brilliantly beautiful with you by my side.
