UNC star Phil Ford on Dean Smith, overcoming addiction, and the Four Corners

Posted Oct 26, 2022
Phil Ford was the 1978 National Player of the Year as well as a longtime assistant basketball coach at UNC and the point guard who made the Four Corners famous. He still ranks No. 2 all-time on UNC’s scoring list. When I think of Ford, now 66, I also think of something Dean Smith said: "There has never been a guy more loyal to Carolina than Phil." (MSN.com)
