I had the privilege of Dean Smith inviting me to his office for a visit and conversation. We discussed politics, religion, and his golf match with MJ, Doug Moe, and Larry Brown He had just returned from Pinehurst. and wanted to brag a bit about teaming with Larry Brown and winning both days:)

We spent zero time discussing basketball. He made me feel like it was a privilege for him to be visiting with me when in reality it was the other way around...duh

I have always said that Dean Smith was a great coach but that he was a far better man than a coach.

Many years ago...I'd say 1981 or 82, a girlfriend was taking a journalism class in which one of their goals was to learn how to conduct themselves at a press conference. One week the instructor informed the class that they were going to hold a mock one and to prepare to interview Coach Smith! Even she was excited.

I think the class was on a MWF schedule on the following Monday (press conference was to be on Friday) the instructor read a note to the class from Coach Smith. He said that he was very happy and eager to join them but he had one rule...absolutely no questions about basketball!

That sent the whole class to the library (in those days) to find out "the rest of the story" on Coach Smith so as to have pertinent questions. It was a blast so I was told.

Minnesota police have responded to the scene of a shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, Gov. Tim Walz said.

“I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information,” Walz said in a post on X, adding the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the State Patrol are on the scene.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he is “monitoring reports of horrific violence in South Minneapolis” and the “emergency response team has been activated.”

If we all have to get new SSNs (or really if it is even possible that we SHOULD do so), someone needs to be held accountable…

“… The scope of the intrusion allowed Chinese intelligence officers to potentially surveil U.S. citizens’ private communications and track their movements around the globe, Brett Leatherman, the FBI’s top cyber official, said in an interview. The agency estimates that the intruders likely obtained more than one million call records and targeted the telephone calls and text messages of more than 100 Americans.

… The hackers were also able to access information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests, one of the aspects of the breach that most concerned U.S. officials. “It should really set off alarm bells for all Americans,” Leatherman said.

The “Salt Typhoon” campaign dates back to at least 2019 but was only discovered by U.S. authorities last year. It allowed China-linked actors to access U.S. customer call data, private communications for a limited number of individuals, sensitive law-enforcement information and technical network information that could inform future attacks, The Wall Street Journal reported last year….”
 




Stein also says rumor is she is not the only official out.

“… Jay Carey, 54, said he was protesting an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that directs federal agencies to “vigorously prosecute” anyone who desecrates the flag, as the order puts it. “Just to let them know that I was a retired disabled combat veteran who did not believe that it was the president’s right to restrict our First Amendment rights,” Carey said in an interview Tuesday.


“That I had fought for this flag, my friends died for this flag, and that he does not have the right, and he’s not allowed to make these illegal rules and laws just because he’s the president,” Carey said by phone.…”

I appreciate this man and his action on this issue. I can't describe how much I respect what he did.
