1. I have never liked Dean Smith, was not a fan of the four-corners, nor do I like UNC. That said,
2. Nowhere in the rules of the game does it say you have to score X-number of points or that you have to play a certain style. The only rule is that you have to score more points than your opponent to win. The fact that a lot of us don't like that style of play - it's not visually appealing - doesn't matter. Those of you who say it violates "the spirit of the game" are only applying your own beliefs on how the game should be played. No one on here complained when the UK football team was running the ball 90% of the time in 2019 with Lynn Bowden (yeah, but that was in response to not having any quarterbacks). Smith only ran the 4-corners when his team was mismatched, or to kill the clock in the final minutes. BTW, that season his team averaged 83 ppg.
