Men’s basketball head coach Bobby Hurley said junior forward Jamir Hanner has been removed from the team for violating team rules. The announcement came at today’s annual Big 4 Basketball Media Day at First Niagara Center.
UB Athletics declined to comment on what the specific violation, only saying it was a violation of team rules. Athletics also said Hurley would not be made available for further comment on the matter.
Hanner never played a game for the Bulls after sitting out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. Hanner transferred from Marshall before the 2013-14 season. He averaged 9.2 minutes and 3.6 points per game for the Thundering Herd as a sophomore in the 2012-13 season.
Hanner was suspended one game for academics during his time at Marshall, according to The Buffalo News.
