Charlie Ward withdraws from TSU coaching hunt
Former Heisman Trophy winner and Houston Rockets guard Charlie Ward confirmed Thursday he has removed his name from consideration for the vacant Texas Southern men's basketball coaching job.
"It just wasn't the proper time for me to pursue a college coaching job," said Ward, who is beginning his first season as head coach of Houston's Westbury Christian High School. "I didn't want to break the commitments I had made to both my family and Westbury Christian."
The Tigers are also considering alum and former star Kevin Granger and another former Rockets' guard, Calvin Murphy.
