“Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than Coach Smith. He was more than a coach – he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father. Coach was always there for me whenever I needed him and I loved him for it. In teaching me the game of basketball, he taught me about life. My heart goes out to Linnea and their kids. We've lost a great man who had an incredible impact on his players, his staff and the entire UNC family.” MenHeartKidsFatherGamesLostParentTeacherPlayerInfluenceTeachingTaughtNeededMy HeartBasketballBiggerImpactIncrediblesCoachesGreat MenMentorStaffAlways There For MeUnc Author:Michael Jordan

“I've got a reason for running. I talk about a larger goal, which is to call upon the best of America. It's part of the renewal. It's reform and renewal. Part of the renewal is a set of high standards and to remind people that the greatness of America really does depend on neighbors helping neighbors and children finding mentors. I worry. I'm very worried about, you know, the kid who just wonders whether America is meant for him. I really worry about that.” PeopleKnowsChildrenDoeReasonHelpingHumorRunningKidsAmericaPoliticalGoalWonderWorryGreatnessDependsFindingsStandardsNeighborReformWorriedMentorRenewalPolitical HumorHigh StandardsGreatness Of America Author:George W.
