Tennessee's Rick Barnes benches Chaz Lanier, saying he wasn't doing what he's 'getting paid to do'
Posted Jan 14, 2025
Tennessee coach Rick Barnes gave leading scorer Chaz Lanier a quick hook just 11 seconds into the second half at Texas, benching him for peeling off a screen and hurling an errant pass into the bench area. Barnes said after the game the decision had to do with his decision to decline a shot, which Barnes made sure to note that Lanier is "paid to do."
