East Tennessee State has hired Wichita State assistant Steve Forbes as its next basketball coach. Forbes replaces Murry Bartow, who was fired March 13 after going 224-165 with three NCAA Tournament appearances in 12 seasons. ETSU earned the most recent of those NCAA invitations in 2010. Forbes isn’t new to the Volunteer State having served as an assistant under former Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl. He’s anxious to get started in his new role.
