“ I wasn't trying to leave a legacy, I was trying to do what was right.”
~Dean Smith
In the quote above I believe that it means that when he did the right thing he also left a legacy behind him. Dean Smith was a college basketball coach and all he wanted to do was the right thing. He would never let an injured player be in the court. His goal was not to leave a legacy by winning most the basketball games. But at one point he wanted to do what was right for himself and the team. Dean Smith was called the “ coaching legend” by the Basketball Hall of Fame. He coached for 36 years at the University of North Carolina. He gave a legacy of selflessness. He would help any players and coaches at anytime. Even former President Obama recognized Dean Smith in a statement.
