Dwayne L. Polee (born March 2, 1963, in Los Angeles, California) is a retired American professional basketball player who has been USC's director of basketball operations since 2007. He graduated from Pepperdine University in 1986. Polee originally attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas after graduating from Manual Arts High School in 1981. He was drafted in the third round by the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers during the 1986-87 season and played in one game.
Polee, a 6'5" (1.96 m) swingman, was the 1981 Los Angeles player of the year at Manual Arts. He turned in perhaps the greatest individual performance in City championship game history when he scored 43 points in Manual Arts' 82-69 victory over Crenshaw High School at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in front of 14,123, the largest crowd in city history.[1]
His son, Dwayne Polee Jr., now a senior at Westchester High School in Los Angeles, committed to St. John's University after decommiting from USC. Dwayne Polee Jr. is also a 2009 Pangos All-American.[2]
