How long does it take to set up a press conference? By Wednesday? Call whoever the best (the one that isn't marshall) guy that agreed, tell him it's his, fly him in.. 4/4/2011 12:38:36 PM |

people I'd call before Marshall that aren't at BCS conference schools:
-Blaine Taylor -Chris Mack -Jim Larranaga (very unlikely, plus he's old) -Donnie Tyndal -Mike Davis -and the person we should call first, Steve Alford 4/4/2011 12:39:31 PM |
Kodiak All American 7067 Posts user info edit post |
It's pretty well established that Mack isn't going anywhere.
I'd take Alford over Marshall in a heartbeat at this point. 4/4/2011 12:42:33 PM |

This just in: VCU files bankruptcy due to signing contract with Shaka.
From 300k to over 1 million. How does a school like that afford that type of raise for one coach?

Fun fact: Cronin replaced former Wolfpacker Andy Kennedy at Cincy following his season as interim coach after Huggins left. Andy Kennedy has a better win % than Cronin. He also hates this school, I'm pretty sure. 4/4/2011 12:49:52 PM |

Quote : | "Having watched Marshall and Wichita State closely the last several years, I’d like to offer some local perspective on Mr. Marshall:
—Most of Wichita and WSU would be very unhappy if he left. He has done an outstanding job making the program relevant after Mark Turgeon left’ Turgeon left him NOTHING. And I do mean nothing. Turgeon was lucky he got out when he did because the program was about to hit the shitter for the next year or two, on his watch.
—Marshall is an arrogant prick. Yes, yes he is combative and humorless. But he is articulate as can be an excellent communicator, and does pretty remarkable press conferences. He clearly knows what he is doing.
—Marshall’s three teams at Wichita State have been built on defense, but the defense has not been the smothering, ugly Michigan State kind but more of a gambling, over-playing, aggressive steal-and-run style. His teams do look to run; he has outrecruited everyone in the conference the last few years and the results are on the court, because Wichita State plays ten guys and just wears people down with numbers. So they make the effort to push the tempo when they can. Half-court offense has been a bit of a struggle this year because of mutiple point guards; a good one graduated last year and the replacements have not developed, though the late-season emergence of Joe Ragland bodes well for future years. Half-court offense is more of a motion style than anything else, and they look to take what the defense gives. He preaches passing, patience, quality shots.
—Marshall’s teams are very disciplined and play hard and physical.
In short, I think GM is a can’t-lose coach for NCSU. But he will rub many the wrong way because he’s defensive and prickly. Regardless, we’ve seen some bad coaches come through here in the last 20 years, and he has put Wichita State in a position to lead the conference for years to come. The good far outweighs any bad." |
