I thought the world of Dean when he was at Carolina but he would do this same kind of stubborn stuff sometimes. Pulled out a player who was ‘lighting it up’ (episode I have in mind was a role player named Ranzino Smith) because he was ‘getting out of the offense’.
Well, at that time everyone else was stone cold and Ranzino was the offense! He came back in later but was not as hot as he’d been and nobody else had gotten any hotter. Carolina wound up losing that game and the worst party was it was an NCAA playoff game and that was the end of the season.
