Smith Would Have Tried World Basketball Meet
Boise AP Dean Smith, U S Olympic basketball coach, says he would have tried to organize a world tournament in the United States if the Montreal Games had collapsed over politics. He planned to invite teams to Greensboro if needed and criticized Canada for blocking Taiwan march under ROC banner. He favored a permanent Olympics site, proposed Athens, and noted Moscow 1980 could run smoothly. Smith cautioned U S teams must continue improving and said he may not coach the U S four years from now. His UNC trio Ford Davis LaGarde would gain from Olympic exposure.
