Gregg Marshall

This guy always has his boys prepared to play. Not taking anything away from LK. I'm proud of our coach, but Marshall was the guy I wanted. Some on here were saying the guy couldn't coach. SMH

I'm not saying he can't coach, but I'd like to see what he does going forward. He has a VERY experienced team this year.

Yeah... that HE put together. Not sure how you can say the jury is still out on this guy. He took over a WSU team that had only one NCAA tournament appearance, and 3 NIT appearances from Mark Turgeon in 7 years. After 2 middle of the pack years, he has gone to the postseason 8 straight years, including 5 straight in the NCAA tournament. He has been to a Final 4 in 2013, a Sweet 16 in 2015, won his conference 4 times and second 3 times. He has 6 tournament wins (and counting) in 5 appearances.

Sure he has 3 very good seniors this year in Baker, VanVleet and Grady, but he has shown he routinely has players ready to go by winning his conference year in and year out, and his final 4 run was 3 years ago with completely different players. He gets young guys ready to play, playing VanVleet and Baker as freshman that year, and this year Shamet, McDuffie, Brown and Morris are 4 of his top 7 in the rotation, and are all freshmen or sophomores. He is restocking talent every year.

Coach Marshall definitely knows how to win conference championships and gets to the NCAA Tournament. Before Wichita State, he did it at Winthrop. He is 53 years old.

Could be soon. Roy Williams is 65 years old.

 

[dahldennsull]

wow, UNC would be interesting. Would be quite the hire for them to succeed Roy

 

[campbest]

I would argue his team has underachieved this year.

Still think he is a very good coach.

Van Vleet was hurt for about half their losses. They're better than is assumed by most and never should have been an 11 seed.

I wanted him before I knew we were hiring LK. Marshall is a great coach no doubt but a lot of posters here said he is hard to work with and we even heard reports Joe C told him "no thanks".

I know some people in the Wichita area and he definitely seems to love the big fish in little pond aspect of WSU. If he does take a big time job will be interesting how he handles the scrutiny and duties of a high profile gig - people there think he's never going to leave.

People felt the same way about Brad Stevens.

 

[sperry]

Marshall is an incredible coach, and Wichita State is the perfect example of why I am so confident in our chances this season. Experienced backcourts make deep tourney runs.

Anybody that wouldn't have wanted Brad Stevens at OU needs to be checked into an asylum.

There's no chance he would have come here though.

I think chuck was talking about butler fans feeling as though Stephens wanted to be a bulldog for life.

Not to mention Anton Grady (don't know about you guys, but that's the first time I've ever heard of a spinal concussion; I'm no doc though) being either out or way less than 100% for a significant stretch as well. There was a time when he first got hurt that they feared he'd never play again.

 

[tmeyer3307]

I got inside information and he's going to Oklahoma state

Ahh, well that makes a bit more sense.

Of course, Stevens would still be at Butler if the NBA hadn't come calling. He wasn't leaving there for anybody but the NBA or a top 3-4 college program.
