The winningest coach, a winning personality
Coaches, players react to Smith's announcement
The Associated Press
To Mike Frzyzewski, Dean Smith was the symbol of excellence. To Michael Jordan, he was a father figure. From all corners yesterday — and not just his Four Corners — Smith was lauded on the day he left college basketball.
Jordan played golf with his former coach before the Chicago Bulls opened training camp, and he suspected Smith might be thinking of moving on and taking things easier.
"He's made an impact on so many players, people's lives, and now he's entitled to do that with his family," Jordan said. "And certainly we support his decision.
"He's a father figure to a lot of players and a lot of people. That's how he's always been, very genuine in his attitude toward the players." Jordan said.
Each October means the same thing for Krzyzewski — preparing Duke for another Atlantic Coast Conference season and at least two neighborhood showdowns with Smith and his North Carolina team. But this time, Carolina will be there, but Smith will not.
"When I think of him, I think of excellence and what he's done for North Carolina, but also what he's done for the ACC ... and just what he's done for college basketball."
Clemson coach Rick Barnes called Smith's record one of the great accomplishments in the history of the sport.
"You can look at what coaches have done at the professional and college level in football, basketball, baseball, any sport, and his record stands alone." Barnes said. "Finishing first, second or third in this league for 33 straight years is incomprehensible."
Rollie Massimino, now coaching at Cleveland State, said Smith has done more for basketball than almost anybody.
"He won 78 percent of his basketball games," Massimino said.

John Swofford, one-time athletic director at North Carolina and now ACC commissioner.
"Dean leaves a legacy of integrity and excellence, of consistency and longevity, of loyalty and values," Swofford said. "Most of all, he leaves a legacy of commitment to his players and a belief that his players always came first."
Former UCLA coach John Wooden, who said he was surprised at the timing of the announcement, called Smith foremost a teacher.
"I think Dean is one of the most innovative coaches I have known," Wooden said. "His teams were not only sound fundamentally, they did so many things offensively and
defensively and they did them well. I've always said I didn't know how he could teach them to do so many things well."
Indiana coach Bob Knight expressed his feelings last March during the NCAA regionals at Winston-Salem, N.C., where Smith became the winningest coach in college basketball history.
"I think his being able to win and win at a single institution, to do it through all the years he's coached without ever having a problem with any kind of recruiting violation or probation is a very, very singular accomplishment in college basketball," Knight said.
