WILMINGTON - In more apparent fallout from the Charlotte Bobcats' business-side downsizing, chief administrative officer Jared Bartie and LaRita Barber, who headed community relations, have both left the organization.

Bartie came from the NBA league office, and oversaw the company's finance, human resources and arena operations. He joined Bobcats Sports and Entertainment before last season. He's going to work for World Wrestling Entertainment, as that company's executive vice president and general counsel. This is Bartie's second stint with the WWE.

Barber has been with the Bobcats since 2003, overseeing the team's charitable and community-outreach endeavors. She is joining Goodwill Industries, as vice president of development.

Two weeks ago, the Bobcats laid off about 35 employees all in non-basketball positions.
