LTCC soccer coach relieved of all duties

Wade has had the position since the start of the calendar year. He was on probation for one year.

He was also the men’s soccer coach. He was put on paid administrative leave starting Nov. 5 for the rest of the month. Reasons for his dismissal have not been released.

Neither LTCC President Kindred Murillo nor board President Kerry David would comment Tuesday night about the action taken.

Wade was not at the meeting and could not be reached for comment.

College officials have been meeting with players, especially sophomores who will be seeking four-year institutions to transfer to next fall, to ensure their needs are met.
