Dean Smith takes in second Bobcats practice

Posted Sep 30, 2010
Dean Smith was a popular man on Thursday. From his seat on the floor at mid-court, the former UNC coach took turns watching the Charlotte Bobcats practice and chatting with numerous old friends as a special guest of coach Larry Brown. It was the second straight day the 79-year-old Smith took in a training camp workout. "It's great," said Brown, who had dinner with Smith Wednesday night. "It's great seeing him." (ESPN.com)
