Dean Smith did everything to bring the best out of his North Carolina players. Sometimes that meant a handwritten note of encouragement. Other times, that meant facing what former star guard Phil Ford called "the wrath of Dean." Smith, who led the Tar Heels to two national titles and 11 Final Fours, died Saturday night at 83. Both Ford and Michael Jordan likened the Hall of Fame coach to a "second father." "Not many people are willing to share everything about themselves with another person that will make the other person better, and he was willing to do that," Ford said Sunday. "Not only with me, but with everyone that played for him, and basically everyone he came in contact with." Along this college town's main Franklin Street drag, there was a sign outside Sutton's Drug Store bearing one of Smith's quotes on leadership: "A leader's job is to develop committed followers.

Bad leaders destroy their followers' sense of commitment."

Hy had lived and shared his life with the late Mary Goldwater for many happy years, and enjoyed a good relationship with her sons. He was a long-time top life insurance agent and retiree at Sun Life Insurance, where he was very proud to have earned a Commercial Life Underwriter's Certificate (C.L.U.). Hy was a man who loved to discuss politics and finance issues enthusiastically, followed opera with great devotion, and could sing just about every hit song from the 50's and 60's with great ardor. Dancing was his great passion and with his incredible sense of humour and love of telling jokes, no one was more fun to be with than Hy. He was compassionate, generous, funny and caring a wonderful human being who loved his family with a big heart.

He will be greatly missed. Many thanks to the staff of Maison Herron for their care and devotion to Hyman over the past few years. Funeral service from Paperman Sons, 3888 Jean Talon St. on Tuesday, February 10 at 10 a.m. Burial at the Knights of Pythias Section, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Duvernay.

USi IN LOVING MEMORY through his program by giving him that message which is so important," said Casey. "This is a small part of our life basketball. It's important to us right now but in the big scheme of things, this is very small as far as what he taught and what he tried to preach to his players." Atlantic Coast Conference Com- -missioner John Swoilbrd spent 21 years with Smith as an administra-toratUNC. "Sometimes, the word legend is used with too little thought," Swofford said.

"In this instance, it almost seems inadequate. He was basketball royalty." Smith led the Tar Heels to 13 ACC tournament titles, five appearances in the NCAA championship game and national titles in 1982 and 1993. He retired in 1997 with a then-Division I men's record 879 victories. Tributes poured in from all corners of college basketball. John Thompson whose Georgetown team lost to the Michael Jordan-led Tar Heels for Smith's first NCAA championship, said simply: "I loved him." NCAA President Mark Emmert called him "the true definition of a coach" and Kentucky coach John Calipari wrote on Twitter that it was "a sad day for basketball to lose one of the greatest coaches of all time." One of Calipari's predecessors with the Wildcats, Joe B.

Hall, called Smith "a dominating force." "It was a constant effort to prepare for hours for his team because he adjusted so well," Hall said. "You really had to go to great depths to prepare because his system was so sound and he had the players to execute it." Buzz Peterson, a former Tar Heels player and college coach who roomed with Jordan, said one of Smith's legacies will be the "family, a special fraternity" he fostered among his former players. Eric Montross, the starting centre on Smith's '93 NCAA championship team remembers Smith frequently writing notes to his players years after they left school. "He found a way to make everyone feel like they were the centre of attention," Montross said. "And he did it not in a way of false praise or false feeling, it was this genuine interest in your well-being." Smith also had his own brand of tough love.

"We called it the wrath of Dean," Ford said. "Not many people played for him (who) didn't come under that. He never swore. I never heard Coach Smith swear, but he could speak to you in a way sometimes that you wish you would." The Associated Press with files from The Canadian Press if mourners laid dozens of flowers, handwritten notes and a miniature basketball with a message of gratitude to the late coach. "I never really remember him coaching on the sideline," said one of those fans, graduate student Kristin Smith of Greensboro.

"But you always knew about him." Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey played and was an assistant coach at Kentucky, an archrival of North Carolina. "Coach Smith did it the right way He did so much not only for young men that he coached there, recruited there but for society as a whole in that area," Casey said. Casey also paid tribute to Smith for the way he taught his players that there was much more to life than basketball. "He did a great job of developing not only successful basketball players everybody remembers Michael Jordan but I'm sure there's so many doctors, lawyers and whatever, heads of companies that he's developed as players LALONDE, Frances February 22, 1934 February 9, 2011 Remembering a darling wife, a dear Mom and friend.

INMEMORIAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSON, MISS. Anne Moody, whose memoir Coming of Age in Mississippi gave a wrenching account of growing up poor in the segregated South and facing violence as a civil rights activist, died Thursday at her home in the small town Gloster, Miss. She was 74. Moody had dementia the past several years and stopped eating two days before she died in her sleep, her sister, Adline Moody, told The Associated Press on Saturday.

On May 28, 1963, Anne Moody was among the students from historically black Tougaloo College who staged a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in downtown Jackson, Miss.

Moody wrote in her 1968 memoir that "all hell broke loose" after she and two other black students, Memphis Norman and Pearlena Lewis, prayed at the lunch counter.
