Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Wonder how his TV show will do with Chino Hills no longer an option. The Lakers and UCLA aren't giving him free access to everything. But I doubt Melo was going to have a normal life anyways. Lamborghini, 92 points, brother starts for the Lakers. The structure basketball aspect being gone might be a problem. Lavar should just go send Melo to play as a 16 year old in Europe, but I doubt he ever lets his kids that far out of his eyes

Why not put him in prep school?

Smacks of Lavar being scared to let his son compete.

Huh? Last response you're getting, Troll Boy.

UCLA may have Balls, but you? Not so much.

I cannot believe there has been no mention of why LaVar is pulling his son from Chino Hills. It's because of their new coach, a guy named Dennis Lattimore.

'all those 50 shots a game, that's going to stop.'

I imagine Latimore wants to win, not pad a chucker's stats.

Still got to go to class in UCLA, with real committed and extremely intelligent students LeMelo. Way to have the NCAA flag your work.

Wayne Joseph, the superintendent of the Chino Valley Unified School District, said Tuesday that LaVar Ball had asked Chino Hills coach Dennis Latimore and principal Isabel Brenes to put four players on the varsity basketball team earlier this year. Both refused.

They didn't let Lavar hand pick his coach.

And i think all of the Ball kids had 4.0, so the student part shouldn't be an issue

Li'Angelo Ball is only slightly more deserving of a Pac 12 scholarship this season than his father. Which is to say: the middle Ball child is a waste of a scholarship.

Ok sure thing. He had the same tendencies to turtle when the going got tough in college.

If Lonzo’s untalented younger brother never plays ball for UCLA again, the only two people who will be crying about it are Lavar and Bug.

You know that is fake, right? I really don't like this trend that so many things can be faked now. We were talking at breakfast today about how Adobe has figured out a way to photoshop people's voices. It has a legitimate use but it will be abused.

Actually they don't. Parents need to sign the NLI unless the player is 21 or over.

Actually, Kiwi is in Malaysia now. Gelo has a few options but realistically, he's done.
