Michigan Point Guard Booted

Wed., Sept. 6, 2000

Michigan sophomore point guard Kevin Gaines will no longer be a part of the basketball team, following “a serious violation of team policies” over the Labor Day weekend, coach Brian Ellerbe said.

Ellerbe said in a news release that two incoming freshmen would also be disciplined for an off-campus incident “that I deemed a serious violation of team policies.” He said he met with Michigan athletic director Bill Martin, coaches and university officials before coming to the decision.
