LaVar Ball Says He Will Home-School LaMelo, Who Won’t Play High School Ball

LaMelo Ball is done playing high school basketball, his father LaVar says.

The youngest Ball will be home-schooled instead of attending Chino Hills High School for two more years and won’t play on the school’s basketball team, LaVar told Eric Sondheimer of the Los Angeles Times. His father intends to train him personally.

“I’m going to make him the best basketball player ever,” Ball told the Times.

Chino Hills coach Stephan Gilling was fired after just one season on the job, and LaVar disputed reports that he was responsible for the coaching change.
