"I'm extremely excited," Reynolds Dean said in a statement. "I've coached all around the country for various years, and there is nothing that would excite me more than coaching in my home state at the University of Georgia. I am overcome with joy because I'm a competitor and I can't wait to join with Coach White and his staff in the mission to restore the tradition of Georgia Basketball. I am grateful that Coach White has given me this opportunity and can't wait to get started. Go Dawgs!"
