OT: UGA's Billy Humphrey
Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2008 6:58 pm
In the aftermath of an arrest for DUI and other charges, Billy Humphrey has been kicked off the Georgia men's basketball team.
Humphrey, 20, was arrested Tuesday morning in Gwinnett County for DUI, failure to maintain his lane and purchasing alcohol while under age. Friday afternoon, Georgia coach Dennis Felton announced his decision to dismiss Humphrey.
"I am disappointed in Billy," Felton said in statement released by UGA. "We've worked really hard with him in the past to see that he succeeds, but I feel that it's now best for our program to move forward without him."
Humphrey, who was to be a senior in the 2008-09 season, was Georgia's second-leading scorer last season and helped the team to the NCAA Tournament.
A guard from Dacula, Humphrey played in 30 of 34 games last season, starting 28. He averaged 12.2 points per game, second-best on the team
