Gregg Marshall

I'm guessing that we are not through with recruiting for the post if JH doesn't return. We have Stutz, EO, Hall, and White and maybe a few walk-ons that might earn some time.

From what I've seen on J.H.'s Facebook page, he's been gone for a while now..... I would be shocked to see him back next season.

Marshall stated before that we are not through with recruiting and that we would be recruiting at least 1 more, so I would say JH is gone, and after next week (player meetings) that we will know if it is more than 1.

Great Expectations (Oh Lord, here we go again). Having the bullseye on our back was our downfall this year. I was hoping to fly under the radar for awhile next year.

Flying under the radar in today's MVC = you aint ####.

Marshall was quoted, "I stayed at Winthrop for nine years, and I was told I had to leave." I noticed on Twitter that some thought he meant he was forced out. Here's an article that address the misunderstanding:

I liked this:

"People in the business, the experts, the talking heads and people I consider friends, they all told me I needed to go," Marshall said. "But I didn't believe that and I don't believe that. If I don't work in a BCS conference, if I don't coach in the Final Four, that doesn't mean my career won't be fulfilled.

"When I look at the guys I admire, guys like John Kresse (whom he worked for at Charleston) or Hal Nunnally (his coach at Randolph-Macon), they were able to stay in one place for a long time and be happy, and I don't feel like I have to always chase that next job to be happy."

What I like best is that he CAN coach in the Final Four right here. He's got a lot of work to do to make it happen, but it absolutely can happen.

What I like best is that he DID coach in the Final Four right here. He had a lot of work to do to make it happen, but it absolutely did happen and will again.

I've been enjoying some older threads this evening and just felt like this one had to be corrected.

Whoa

[WSUwatcher]

As Marshall and others have noted, one good way to advance is to make your CURRENT job the next job. Not many anywhere have done that better than Marshall has at WSU.

Wow, those are some very lofty expectations. I guess the run through the NIT showed some potential?

I personally think this one is an outlier and we'll be off the radar next year. I would love to be wrong though.

Still, great press and respect!

This is a good quote too.

[shock]

This is a good quote too.

Was JH4P around at that time?

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Really proud of the first-class coach we have. I know I've been critical at times with x's and o's, but how can you argue with a guy who just won 29 games?

I have an even bigger amount of respect for Gregg. He is a perfect fit for us.

Cant post one and not the other, and you know Im no Fever fan...

Absolutely! I wasn't trying to call him out in particular, just noting the way the sentiments have changed in the last three years.

I've been on this board for 8 years.
