JOHNSON CITY, Tennessee (Ticker) - East Tennessee State leading scorer Tiras Wade, who went on a leave of absence last season to deal with personal issues, is leaving the program, new coach Murray Bartow announced Monday.
"After having multiple discussions with Tiras, it became clear to me that it was in the best interest of both parties to allow Tiras a chance at a fresh start," said Bartow, who was hired last month.
"In the end, my priority is to do what's best for ETSU basketball. I believe this will be the best decision for Tiras and our program here at ETSU."
A junior guard, Ward averaged 16.3 points in 18 games, including 17 starts, last season. He also was third on the team in rebounding at 5.6 per contest.
