"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."

 Dean Smith 

I believe when you have this kind of mindset it'll leave you with some kind of legacy. It is a humble way of thinking. Some people will respect a person who goes out of their way for the safety or satisfaction of others. Dean Smith had something in him, and what that was, was a simple wish to help his players win and to help them outside of the sport. He was a father figure of sorts with some players . He earned respect by helping people and taking time out of his day for others. I believe people just need to take a step back sometimes and just think back see if there happy with the way things are going. This man left a legacy because he chose to be a caring person.
