Dwayne L. Polee Sr.[1] (born March 2, 1963, in Los Angeles, California) is a retired American professional basketball player who has been the director of player development at the University of San Francisco since 2012. From 2007 to 2010, he was the director of basketball operations at the University of Southern California.[2] 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, before finishing his career in Europe.

Polee, a 6'5" swingman, was the 1981 Los Angeles City Section Player of the Year at Manual Arts.[1] 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.[3]

His son, Dwayne Jr., also won the Los Angeles City Section Player of the Year in 2010 playing for Westchester High School. They were the second father–son combo to achieve the distinction.[1][note 1] Dwayne Jr. currently plays for San Diego State.
