How to use dean in a sentence?

1. Roy Williams:

   I'd like to say on behalf of all our players and coaches, past and present, that Dean Smith was the perfect picture of what a college basketball coach should have been, we love him and we will miss him.

2. Dane DeHaan:

   I guess he was such an open, emotional vessel that I think he tapped into human nature, so it just left people wondering what would have happened. I think James Dean would be 83 today. He could be here, what would he be doing?

3. Jeremy Barr:

   I was happy that we were able to achieve what I think both Dean and A.G. really wanted to achieve, which was a really sort of intentional transition process that allowed me, but also a team of people who will now move into fresh positions in newsroom leadership, to really have time to work closely together, so many transitions in the past, in fact the majority of them, have taken place in a somewhat herky-jerky or unexpected way, where something happens, somebody departs suddenly, someone is dismissed from the job.

4. Tim Breedlove:

   It was indicative of the man Dean Smith was, it's one more example of his thoughtfulness.

5. Lee Merritt:

   The family of Atatiana Jefferson is relieved that Aaron Dean has been arrested charged with murder, he did get what I wanted him to get, and this is only the start.
