Coach's generosity leaves touching legacy

Dean Smith is still giving to his University of North Carolina players - even after his death.

Tim Breedlove, the Charlotte-based trustee of the trust that bears the late coach's name, said on Thursday that letters were sent this month to each of the players who lettered for Smith's teams - about 180 in all.

The letter says Smith directed that following his death, each letterman was to be sent a $200 check with the message, "Enjoy a dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith."
