Junior Corey Chandler was kicked off the Rutgers basketball team for violating athletic department policies, according to an Associated Press report.

Rutgers coach Fred Hill did not give specific reasons for the guard’s dismissal, calling it a “family matter.”

Chandler averaged seven points and 3.3 rebounds in 32 appearances last season. In 2007-08, he had averaged 11.9 points and four rebounds per game.

Hill also announced that the team has a new assistant coach in Sal Mentesana and that Craig Carter will be the program’s recruiting coordinator.
