CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP)—Southern Illinois guard Ryan Hare has been kicked off the team a month after being suspended while facing battery and felony trespassing charges.

Coach Chris Lowery announced the dismissal Sunday, citing a violation of unspecified team rules and policies.

Hare, a sophomore from Chicago, was charged in Jackson County last month with battery and trespassing after a disturbance involving one of his acquaintances, who was treated at a hospital.

Hare started all but five of the Salukis’ games last season, averaging nearly eight points and three rebounds per game.

His attorney, Wesley Wilkins, did not immediately return a message Monday.

    this is crazy! we lost to many Dam players in the last few yrs. This coach hasnt shown he can run a program! the offense is wack! and so is the coach! he was at the right place at the right time and got the job! he better show that hes worth the close to 1mill. he gets to take home each yr! he cant control his team! This just keeps getting better! But Dillard is the truth, maybe he can carry the team. if he stays around that is!

    So Hare gets kicked off, aren't they replacing him with Diamond Taylor that got kicked off Wisconsin's team for allegedly stealing money and cell phones from dorm rooms?? Maybe Jerry Smith form Louisville will transfer there as well

    Hare is an idiot, but you also must blame the idiot that recruited him. Lowery has been riding the previous coaches coat tails the last couple years. SIU might lose every valley game this year.

    One more reason SIU is going nowhere in the Valley this coming season. I see Drake beating SIU twice this year.

    I remember when kids played sports to stay OUTTA trouble. Now, these kids are playing sports just so they can get a free pass to a weight-lifting gym...then they use their strength to strongarm women and commit battery.

    Use that agression on the field/court, idiot.
