Donyell Marshall Gets a Coaching Job

[3uconn]

@JonRothstein: Rider coach Kevin Baggett will hire former NBA and UConn star Donyell Marshall as an assistant, per a source. Official start date is 9/1.

Congrats to him!

Stepping stone to be on Ollie's staff in the future?

Can never have enough NBA guys...

Get some college experience, then come work for KO. Sounds like the plan here

 

[superjohn]

Yup good for Donyell, he made enough money in his NBA career that he could sit on his butt the rest of his life, hope to see him on our staff in the future.

There's a spot open at UConn right now, isn't there?

 

[ctchamps]

Is he their free throw coach? Congrats Yell!

 

[mauconnfan]

Dmarshall was pretty discouraged when ko wwas named coach tweeting something about his disappointment

No, he was discouraged at not being hired after a position opened up last year, not at KO's hiring.

aw, now he can't help recruiting but seriously good luck to DM, hopefully there will be a spot for him here one day.

 

[jollari]

I echo the others. Congrats DM and hope to see you on the staff in the future (unless Ray wants to coach and takes your spot)

Exactly, it's amazing how faulty some people's memories are, in the process creating bad rumors.

That free throw coach remark was CRUEL. Do people remember back that far???

And bizarrely that's all they remember of his great career. The Great Casey Struck Out.

Id rather have a faulty memory of facts than a perfect memory of none

I might have forgotten it if it wasn't constantly brought up in the Boneyard. Same with George plucking Mason!

BB's error against the Mets was another one. Sadly humor does not come across the internet without inflection. Nothing against DM from me. Just posted frequently by posters, although has mellowed past few years.

He has more coaching experience (college and D-League) than two of the assistants who were hired over him.

He's one of the top 5 Husky's ever and his junior season is arguably the best season a Husky has ever had although I give the nod to Kemba because what he did was otherworldly.

What Kemba did, words cannot describe.

Congrats to 'Yell! Hopefully this works out like Ricky Moore's time at Dartmouth (i.e. just prepping for a future UConn gig).

 

[huskiesnyc]

I really wish Donyell was part of our coaching staff, but I think it's only a matter of time. Follow him on twitter he bleeds blue

I love that "THC" liked this post.

Congrats to Donyell.

Awesome congrats.

There is one word that can................

Winning!
