šŸ€ Gregg Marshall resigns from Wichita State (contract settlement of $7.75 million.)

"He’s a maniac, a bully,ā€ said a former assistant. ā€œHe disrespects people, brings up personal stuff, family, girlfriends.ā€

Among the allegations Stadium uncovered:

  • Marshall punched Morris in the head during a practice in October of 2015. ā€œI love my teammates, the city and Wichita State,ā€ said Morris, who played at Wichita State from 2014-18. ā€œBut if I could go back to that day when he punched me, I would have left.ā€
  • Marshall choked Lindsted, then a Shockers assistant coach, at a practice during the 2016-17 season, sources said. Lindsted, now an assistant at Minnesota, declined comment.
  • Marshall taunted junior forward Isaiah Poor Bear-Chandler, who is of Native American descent, ā€œto get back on his horseā€ and made ā€œIndian howling noisesā€ while in practice during the 2018-19 season.
  • Marshall body-shamed a former player by lifting his shirt up during a practice in the 2015-16 season, grabbing the player’s stomach and then mocking the player’s girth.
In the past two years, 10 players have transferred from Wichita State, including seven after last season. That’s nearly double the national average, and an unusually high number of defections for such a storied program. Each player Stadium contacted said Marshall’s treatment of players and coaches they experienced and witnessed was the primary reason for leaving the program. Stadium spoke to eight of the 10 players who left over the past two seasons.
