NORFOLK, Va. — Old Dominion leading scorer Vasean Allette has been dismissed from the team for “conduct unbecoming a Monarch,” interim coach Kieran Donohue said.
Donohue made the announcement Sunday, a day after saying Allette was suspended and did not play in the 76-70 home loss to Georgia Southern.
Allette, a freshman guard from Toronto, was averaging 17.4 points for Old Dominion, second in the Sun Belt Conference. He had started the first 18 games before coming off the bench in a 78-62 home loss to James Madison on Wednesday.
Allette also led the Monarchs (5-16, 1-8) in rebounds, assists and steals.
Donohue took over as interim coach of the Monarchs when Jeff Jones was away from the team for the remainder of the season while dealing with health issues.
Jones, 63, is recovering from a heart attack he suffered Dec. 20 at the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu and is also battling prostate cancer.
