Press Release From UMBC Athletics:
Chauncey Gilliam, a sophomore guard on the UMBC men’s basketball team, has been declared academically ineligible to compete in games during th fall 2009 semester.
Gilliam, who averaged 10.9 points per game in his freshman campaign, will be permitted to practice with the team. His eligibility status will be reviews after UMBC’s final exam period concludes on December 22.
“Obviously, we’re disappointed that we’ll be without Chauncey during the first semester,” head coach Randy Monroe said. “He’s such a fierce competitor who brings that swagger to our team. We’ll miss him, but he will certainly have our support during this difficult time.”
Further coverage of this event will be featured in the Sept. 22, 2009 issue of The Retriever Weekly.
