SMITH'S IRE NOT DIRECTED AT BC TO JACK BOGACZYK:

All the old Bill Brill haters will really get a kick out of your article on March 21. So you think a coach is going to stay in his seat when one of his players is grabbed and slammed to the floor - maybe seriously injured?

As for ripping Boston College, you know his ire was at Danya Abrams, not at the Boston College program.

As for the ACC tournament championship, Jack, why not mention their name? It was Virginia, the same team [that] if allowed to play defense in a New York subway would be arrested. Jeff Jones learned well when he played there. He's taken the old (Hatchet Man) defense and added his own twists to it. Jack, you know what Bobby Knight told his critics to do? Congratulations, Boston College.\ CHUCK JARRELL\ DUBLIN
