ESPN's Stephen A. Smith paid tribute to college basketball coaching legend Nolan Richardson, but there's one major problem. Richardson is still living.

Stephen A. Smith has been in the apology business lately. Earlier this week he said he was sorry for saying LeBron James didn't attend Kobe Bryant's memorial service and then a few days later he said he was sorry for making it sound like legendary basketball coach Nolan Richardson was dead when he is in fact still very much alive.

Stephen A. Smith sent his condolences to “late great” Hall of Fame coach Nolan Richardson, who is not actually dead.
