Germany coach Henrik Rödl still inspired by his UNC coach, Dean Smith

Posted Jul 28, 2021
Henrik Rödl returned to the U.S., played for Dean Smith at North Carolina, won a national championship, and has enjoyed quite a life in basketball since. Smith’s impact is never lost on Rödl, particularly now when he coaches the German team in the Tokyo Olympics — 45 years after Smith coached the U.S. to a gold medal at the Montreal Games.
