Bill Guthridge, the longtime assistant to Dean Smith who succeeded him as North Carolina's head coach, has died. The school announced Wednesday that Guthridge died Tuesday night. When Smith retired as Division I's winningest men's coach shortly before the 1997-98 season, Guthridge was promoted to replace him, and he guided the Tar Heels to two Final Fours in three seasons.
