The North Carolina House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution honoring the life of Dean Smith on Wednesday.
Coach Smith’s wife Linnea and daughter Kristen were at the legislature in Raleigh as several members of the House spoke about the lasting legacy of the legendary Tar Heel basketball coach, who passed away earlier this year.
The resolution honors the memory of Dean Smith and expresses the appreciation of the representatives for Coach Smith’s contributions to the state of North Carolina, public education, and social justice.
Local representatives Verla Insko and Graig Meyer are among the primary representatives of the resolution.
