LaVar Ball is getting ready to make another bizarre move involving one of his kids. LaVar is planning to pull junior LaMelo Ball out of high school and essentially end his high school playing career.
The plan is for LaVar to home-school and train his son for the next two years before sending him off to UCLA for college.
Stunning news: LaVar Ball said he is pulling junior LaMelo from Chino Hills and will home-school him the next two years and train him.

More from the LA Times:
“I’m going to make him the best basketball player ever,” LaVar said.
He intends to check him out on Tuesday.
LaVar had already been having concerns about Chino Hills’ new coach, Dennis Latimore.
“It’s good for Melo,” LaVar said. “Less distractions. He just needs to focus.”
The next time people will be able to see LaMelo play is next spring in travel ball.
“They’ll have to sit back and wait,” LaVar said.
LaVar said LaMelo still intends to sign with UCLA.
The loss of LaMelo from the high school ranks will have a major impact on Southern California basketball.
