This is so surreal.
I don't think there's 5 people in this thread that fully appreciate what is happening right now. It would be impossible in the context of today's world. We currently have two U.S. presidents, are in the middle of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, and the winningest coach in the history of our 100+ year program is getting fired because he did something that innumerable coaches have done before him - particularly football. And Shocker fans are barely making a whimper throughout this whole deal. Had this happened last year we would have encircled Koch Arena with throngs of fans to show our solidarity.
Marshall will be gone and barely anybody will notice.
So surreal...

That isn't really true. Jody was the most successful women's coach ever at WSU. She had 3 straight conference titles and the programs first 3 NCAA appearances. Sure that isn't Summitt levels, but it wasn't like WSU was firing a coach without on the court success.
FYI, there was a physical issue with one of Jody's assistants (who had previously been head coach at SIU when Jody was an assistant for her). Jody partially was fired for hiring a coach who pinned a player against a wall, even if she herself did not physically assault any players.Last edited by 1972Shocker; November 13, 2020, 10:54 AM.

Most pertinent to her firing was that she never had a winning team. I’ll venture a wager that her methods weren’t very much different than Pat Summitt, the HOF woman’s coach she played for at Tennessee. But PS won 8 N. Championships and had 1100 wins.

Sad to see this happening to Coach Marshall.
There isn't any loyalty anymore.
He was great for our university.
A fantastic advocate for Wichita.
A mentor to hundreds of young men who he coached and trained into the best basketball players and men they could be.
A winner who singlehandedly bring us to the top of the college basketball scene and moved us into a bigger, better conference.
And now, because of some malcontents raising issues that are several years old, led on by a no account supposed "reporter," obviously intent on ruining Marshall, a man with none of the qualities, abilities or success of Coach Marshall, we are going to run him off.
No second chances with the cancel culture mob, no gratitude for what he did for the university or city.
Just discard him like yesterday's trash.
We will never again reach the heights we had with him, we will sink like a rock for a decade, and we will deserve to.
I am sad that we don't work to restore him and support him in his hour of need.
Again, there is no loyalty and I find it disgusting.
As a proud WSU graduate, I religiously followed every game on radio or television although having been gone from Wichita for 30 years.
I grew up listening to "Wichita State is on the go, watch the Shockers move on in victory, take your family to the game, root the Shockers on to fame, Wichita wins for you."
That jingle goes back to the 1960's, Stallworth, Bowman, Armstrong, Wylie, etc.
I haven't yet decided if I will still watch or care about WSU going forward.
That is hard for me to say.
But loyalty matters to me, and I don't see it here.- Leave a comment:
