Soon-to-be senior guard Laval Lucas-Perry was dismissed from Michigan’s basketball team today by head coach John Beilein for violating team rules. There were no specifics released on what LLP did, but Coach Beilein’s official statement is below.
“The University of Michigan and our men’s basketball program has established expectations essential to the success of all students and athletes. These university and team standards have been clearly communicated to the team and Laval on numerous occasions through meetings, conferences and mentorship.
“Unfortunately, Laval has violated our team standards. Therefore, I have decided that he will no longer be a part of our basketball program. Given the fact that Laval is near the completion of his degree, he has been extended the offer to remain on scholarship for the 2010-11 academic year and graduate in May with our 2011 class.”
Along with Manny Harris’ decision to leave school early, this is another unfortunate loss for a Wolverine team coming off of a disappointing 15-17 season.
