Illness Costs Ex-EKU PG Jason McLeish His Job

Jason McLeish with the basketball
Former Eastern Kentucky standout point guard Jason McLeish has lost his job with the PBL's Halifax Rainmen after an extended illness.

Excerpt of article from MetroNews.ca:

McLeish is a former NCAA Division I standout with the Eastern Kentucky Colonels and most recently played in the now-defunct Continental Basketball Association with the East Kentucky Miners, averaging 18.6 points and 3.8 assists last season.

“It was nothing off the court, it was just a mixture of him getting sick – he was extremely sick … and then he just came back and had no energy,” Levingston said, adding the team will now be out to find a replacement for him.

“He just didn’t look like he was ready to play basketball. I know that may not be a fair assessment, but he just didn’t have a good camp. He wasn’t the same kid we saw in the summer.”
