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. "Now Mr. Ball has decided to take his kid out of Chino Hills," Joseph said. Joseph said that several months ago, Ball approached Latimore, a first-year coach and the third coach in three years at Chino Hills. "He suggested he put four or five kids on varsity," Joseph said. LaVar Ball said he will train LaMelo himself and let him play in travel ball during the spring and summer.
