(WJHL) — The search for East Tennessee State University’s (ETSU) next men’s head basketball coach could be headed down the stretch to completion. News Channel 11 learned through several sources Thursday that Brooks Savage is being tapped as a frontrunner for the position.

Like former ETSU head coach Desmond Oliver, this would be the first head coaching job for Savage, who would inherit a team that struggled to a 12-20 overall record. Savage would also be the second coach from the Forbes staff to take the job since Jason Shay coached for one season. Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc. All rights reserved.
