Torrey Ward
A private plane returning from the NCAA basketball tournament in Indianapolis crashed in a central Illinois field on Tuesday, killing all seven people on board, including former Ole Miss assistant basketball coach Torrey Ward.
Ward, 36, served as Illinois State University’s assistant head basketball coach since 2012. He was promoted to associate head coach in 2014.
Ward coached at Ole Miss for five seasons after joining Andy Kennedy’s staff in 2006.
He is survived by his two children, Torrey and Tamia.
