Dean Smith, the coaching innovator who won two national championships at North Carolina, an Olympic gold medal in 1976 and induction into basketball's Hall of Fame more than a decade before he left the bench, has died. The retired coach died ''peacefully'' at his North Carolina home Saturday night, the school said in a statement Sunday from Smith's family.
