Rutgers has dismissed junior guard Corey Chandler from its basketball team for violating team policy, according to Tom Luicci of The Star-Ledger.
Chandler nearly transferred a year ago over unhappiness due to a lack of playing team, and started 11 games last season for the Scarlet Knights and averaged 7.0 points per game. If you recall, Chandler had 13 points against Villanova last season, and 14 points against Villanova when Rutgers upset Villanova at The RAC in 2008.
Rutgers is expected to hold a press conference at 4 p.m. today to formally announce its decision. In some unrelated Rutgers news, Fred Hill has hired Sal Mentesana to join his staff.
…Chandler did well against Villanova both times he faced them, but seemed to struggle as a whole…Rutgers wasn’t expected to really compete in the Big East next year, and this certainly won’t help their cause…
