    Great story on Nolan Smith of Duke

    Duke point guard Nolan Smith lost his dad at 8, but still hears him loud and clear.


    Warning: Tugs at the heart strings.

    Regardless, his freshman year, in 2007-08, was emotional and difficult. He remembers taking the floor for his first game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, a moment Nolan had wanted so badly to share with Derek, and he found himself looking up at the ceiling for his father all night. It became his ritual. Every building in the ACC, every time he took the floor, he'd stare at the roof. Always the roof.
    Get that same feeling about my father every time I step on the 1st tee of a golf course.
