Gregg Marshall being investigated for allegations of misconduct

[Son of Robert]

Props to Alterique for landing at a premier program and immediately carving out his place as the starting point guard. I hope he puts it all together this year and excels.

Regarding all the other crap, Marshall, players leaving, an investigation, I hope the Wichita State program gets it together so that the players there can have a good season.

Wishing Al the best. He could still carve out a nice career for himself overseas.

Sometimes what the well intended Casual Fan misses is how difficult it is to dribble against a guy as quick as AG with such a low center of gravity, when he pressures full court. Just out of frustration and tiredness, the tendency is to pick up your dribble.

Watched Karl Hobbs handcuff taller players more than once-although honestly he was not close to AG in sheer talent-but he WAS tenacious.

Could there be a worse coach for AG. The guy really is so overdue for something to break his way.

Clearly the right move, but interesting timing

Alterique Gilbert man... can the kid catch a freaking break.

 

[LIuconn]

He was gonna start and now there's 0 risk he gets beat up by his coach. Play a season, then go make $ in Europe. Or go turn pro now

Not playing for a coach that’ll try to punch him in the back of the head seems like a break to me.

Of course, but he’s walked into a less than ideal situation and probably wouldn’t have gone there had he had the choice again.

 

[UconnU]

Hope they aren’t eyeing Kimani.

Hope they aren’t eyeing Kimani.

It’ll be Chris Jans and I’ll be sad.

Like it or not Gregg Marshall's coaching careers not over.

 

[FriarJ]

Up to 40 coaches and players allege mistreatment. Providence has hosted many many opening round NCAA’s over the years but nothing approached the pieces of crap that rolled in from Wichita. From the fans, to the coach, to his wife. Pure trash. This surprises none of us that witnessed that year.

Or Steve Forbes

You think he'll dip on Wake Forest so quickly?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

This is a better situation for AG than if Marshall stayed throughout this year.

Whoever is the new coach can just focus on basketball. 7 of their 13 scholarship players are brand new at Wichita State, so there's already a new culture to develop there.

Having AG be that veteran tonic can be a huge opportunity for him plus he'll get all the minutes he can handle on a team that is projected to be in the top-half of the AAC.

 

[UConnStats]

You think he'll dip on Wake Forest so quickly?

Not likely, but Wichita pays a ton and he’s worked there before (although that might actually hurt him here if people claim he was complicit in anything Marshall did).

I cannot stress enough how excited I am to be out of the dumpster fire that is the AAC.

 

[gampelcrazies]

That's a pipe dream. No way Matta takes that job

Rumor is Danny Manning. Which would be a really good hire for them IMO.

He was a complete flop at Wake. Then again, the AAC really has been a hot bed of coaches that need to revive their careers (Sampson, Tubby, Haith, Dawkins)

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I don't really care who they hire as long as it's a good experience for Gilbert. I won't give two thoughts about WSU after this season.
