They had Dee on WEEI earlier this week and he denies the story, saying he
has never been kicked out of a practice at any level of his career. He
agreed that he and Pitino had some disagreements, but insisted that nothing
ever approached this level. Some implication as he was questioned further,
that he may have spoken out more than others to Pitino because of his
situation as captain and being a veteran. Did admit to not hearing about the
trade in advance, as some players involved apparently did.
