Now, Gregg Marshall did leave Winthrop before -- for maybe 5 minutes -- but this time it looks serious. Not to mention for a lot more money than the time the College of Charleston called. Sorry, but until he signs and makes it through the first 48 hours or so, the whole deal has to be viewed as still tentative. That's what happens when you've backed out before.Marshall has apparently accepted the Wichita State Shockers job for a 7-year, $750,000 per year contract. Guess that $400,000/year for 10 years and having the court named after him at Winthrop wasn't quite enough.
Wichita State (assuming Marshall doesn't change his mind) probably got one of the better coaches from the mid-major ranks. If anything makes the argument that the Missouri Valley Conference has made it to at least A-10 or C-USA status of the late 90s, it's poaching smaller mid-major schools for their head coach. Congrats to Wichita State and the MVC for showing how serious they are about being a force in college basketball.
