LaVar Ball told ESPN that he has pulled his son LiAngelo out of UCLA.

"We are exploring other options with Gelo," LaVar Ball said. "He's out of there."

The news was first reported by TMZ.

"I'm going to make him way better for the draft than UCLA ever could have." - LaVar Ball

LiAngelo Ball, a freshman, is one of three UCLA basketball players who were indefinitely suspended after a shoplifting incident in China.

Ball, the middle Ball brother, did not play a single game in college after being suspended from the team -- along with teammates Cody Riley and Jalen Hill.

"I'm not sitting back and waiting," LaVar Ball told ESPN. "He wasn't punished this bad in China."

"We get back over here and the consequences were even stiffer than China. So basically they're in jail here."

UCLA coach Steve Alford issued a statement later Monday.

"We learned today of LiAngelo Ball's intention to withdraw from UCLA," he said. "We respect the decision he and his family have made, and we wish him all the best in the future."

Ball told ESPN he hasn't decided where LiAngelo will play this season.

"I'm going to make him way better for the draft than UCLA ever could have," he said.

"He's not transferring to another school," he told ESPN. "The plan is now to get Gelo ready for the NBA draft."

LaVar Ball told ESPN prior to the season that LiAngelo would only stay at UCLA for one season, even if he wasn't projected as a draft pick. His brother Lonzo played one season with the Bruins before being drafted No. 2 by the Lakers.

don't sports players have to wait like multiple seasons before transferring teams in HS/college?

Or is that not a thing?

High school, I don't think so, but in college you have to sit out 1 year unless there are special circumstances. Special circumstances apparently do not include coaches changing schools.

He can always go back to school later. If he is set on basketball and UCLA won't let him pursue that, then it makes sense to look at other options.

Trump should have him team up with Dennis Rodman and form a basketball team to send to North Korea to calm down the situation.

I feel bad for his sons that he's like the nightmare sports dad that wants to re-live his youth through them so he controls their lives.

They need to find their balls and tell him to shut the fuck up once in awhile.

Watch his game highlights for AAU and highschool.

He's a ball hog and major chucker. He takes like 30 shots a game and doesn't pass.

Worse shooting motion than lonzos.

I hope this family just disappears tbqh.

He's got a full scholarship for UCLA, although his MB1 shoe line may affect his eligibility and pulling LiAngelo doesn't really help

Yeah, near the end of the article:

LaVar Ball said that that the plan is still for LaMelo Ball - ESPN's seventh-ranked player in the class of 2019 -- to go to UCLA. LaMelo verbally committed to attend UCLA in two years. However, a source at UCLA told ESPN's Arash Markazi that this is probably the end for the Ball family at the school.

Nah but his son could still do whatever he says because he has not declared his independence, so to speak. But who knows, it's their personal life.

He's an adult.

That's his independence.
