Lavar Ball is pulling Lamelo from CHINO HILLS?! "To Make Him The BEST HS Player Ever"

Mr. Ball has done it again!đđ
Lavar Ball has made the headlines this week, promising to pull LaMelo âhis youngest sonâ from Chino Hills High School to home-school him, âthe Ball wayâ. ESPN  reported that LaMelo will spend his last two years at home before college.
âIâm not dealing with the coach over there,â LaVar told ESPN. âIâm not dealing with the administration over there. I donât want no distractions on Melo. So, therefore, Iâm going to home-school him and make him the best basketball player ever.â Chino Hills High School hired Dennis Latimore as new acting head coach in May, replacing the old coach Stephan Gilling who was there only one year. Whom didnât always see eye to eye with Lavar Ball and LaMeloâs playing style. LaMelo said Monday was his last day at Chino Hills, but is excited about this change in his scholastic life, âbecause I can spend all my time now and dedication into it instead of going to school and doing book work,â LaMelo Ball told ESPN.
âItâs a new coach and I donât like him one bit,â LaVar said of Latimore. â[LaMelo]âs on track for UCLA, but he doesnât have to be dealing with those knuckleheads. Iâm not letting them mess with his head anymore. You can put that on the principal and the coach over there.
âThat coach has his own frame of mind on how he wants to play and who he picks in the team. OK, yâall got all that going on, letâs see how you do without my tutelage. Without me training those players at my house. It seems like anybody whoâs training over here, that coach donât want him in the team.â
LaMelo Ball is committed to UCLA for the 2019 class. He is ranked no. 7 by ESPN in the ESPN 60.Â
âThe coach made a comment the other day. He said, âall those 50 shots a game, thatâs going to stop.â So Iâm like, âWow,'â LaVar said. âAnd every kid he talks to, he asks which AAU program they play for and as soon as they mention my name, he goes the other way.
âIâm not going to put my son through all that.â
LaMelo said heâs not worried about missing out on traditional high school life and not going to school with his friends.
âTheyâre going to come to the house and train with me anyways,â LaMelo said.
