Read:<\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><i><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;color: #242424\">&#8220;For 36 years, Dean Smith taught his players and our community the principles of Play Hard, Play Smart and Play Together.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\" style=\"background: white\"><i><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;color: #242424\">Those core principles helped Carolina become one of the successful programs in college basketball and helped develop young men who went on to success in basketball, law, medicine, education and many other endeavors.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\" style=\"background: white\"><i><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;color: #242424\">Numerous organizations have adopted and applied those fundamentals, and today we celebrate one that has a unique connection to our Hall of Fame coach.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\" style=\"background: white\"><i><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;color: #242424\">With us at center court are professionals from UNC Health, specifically the Cardiology and Thoracic Surgical team, and members of the Smith family.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\" style=\"background: white\"><i><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;color: #242424\">Last fall, the medical team led by surgeons Dr. John Ikonomidis and Dr. Thomas Caranasos, Dr. Susan Martinelli, Dr. Michael Yeung, Andrew Shirlen and Kevin Haas, embodied the values of working hard, smart and together to save the life of Coach Smith\u2019s grandson \u2013 Brian Dean Smith \u2013 after he experienced a serious cardiac condition.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\" style=\"background: white\"><i><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;color: #242424\">To the countless doctors, nurses, residents, nurse practitioners, lab techs and other staff who make enormous positive contributions across our state, and who in this instance saved the life of Brian Smith, we thank you for your adherence to and belief in exceptional teamwork embodied on this very basketball court for so many years by Coach Smith.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><i><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;color: #242424;background: white\">Please join Carolina Athletics and the Smith family for
