After Dwyane Wade scored just two points and yelled at Erik Spoelstra in a playoff game against the Indiana Pacers, he visited his college coach Tom Crean. In the next game, Wade scored 30 points to help Miami tie the series 2-2 en route to the 2012 NBA championship.
This season, in the midst of a 10-game suspension, Dion Waiters flew to Syracuse to visit his college coach Jim Boeheim and watch a Syrcause basketball game.
Dion Waiters came back to Syracuse for advice from Jim Boeheim and to "feel the love" of Orange fans.

The Heat guard, suspended for 10 games, talked about where he is right now as he figures out how to move forward:https://t.co/Qe1puoqOEg
Waiters said he knew that Boeheim is “a person who will always be there for me if I ever need anything.” And he added that “it’s not the end of my story.” Waiters has not played a regular season game for the Miami Heat yet this season.
He will be eligible to rejoin the team for Miami’s Dec. 1 visit to the Brooklyn Nets.
Last week, Waiters had a panic attack on the team flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles after consuming a THC-infused edible. That led to a Heat statement saying that Waiters had “engaged in conduct detrimental to the team” including the “scary situation” on the team flight.
