"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."- Dean Smith 

What Dean Smith was saying is that all he wanted to do was do the right thing he did not say i am going to be the best coatch and be lengndary no all he wanted to do is do the right thing he wanted to make his team better he wanted evryone to work hard play right. He wanted he palyers to know that doing the right thing and working hard can make you a good palyer. Dean Smith jsut did the right thing like he was a good coatch he wanted his palyers to do good in school and evrything all he was doing was the right thing. For example you are want to become a football palyer, basketball player, or do music or anything else don't do it just to leave a legacy do it because you love doing it but do it doing the right thing all the time because if you see it by doing the right thing and just because you love it you will leave your own legacy and you wont see it that way because there was other peolpe helping you like you coatch or anybody else and thats a good thing because it shows that you really don't care about the fame or making a title for your self it shows that all you wanted to do is the right thing.
