Former North Carolina coach Dean Smith died on Feb. 7, but left his players one final gift in his passing.

In his will, Smith bequeathed $200 to each of his former players from his trust. The reason? The coach wanted them to “enjoy a dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith,” according to the letter he sent each along with the check.

Rovell went ahead and did the math on that one, and it’s somewhere around $36,000 that coach Smith bequeathed to his former players. This is a very cool gift that I’m sure his players will cherish — along with the wisdom coach Smith imparted to them — for as long as they can. Coach Smith is the epitome of class, even though he’s no longer on this earth.
