    I might trust this info more if you had spelled his name correctly.

They could meet without Marshall first and then bring him in. If their goal or Shaq’s goal is to simply to get him fired and there is no alternative, then end of story. If the idea is to get Marshall to change some of his behavior than there is something to talk about. He gave Shaq second and third chances before this incident even occurred. Does Marshall deserve the same consideration from Shaq and this team. These team members are men now. It’s time to act like it in direct conversation with the man they have a problem with and for Coach to do the same. To Ron, Fred, Evan, Landry, Rashard, Zach, Shaq, Rauno, Wamukota, Bush, Simon, Grady, Taylor, Hamilton, McDuffie, Heier, Lindstedt, and Brown, time is running short, It’s time to step up. It’s your call. Do any of us want our life’s work to be judged by our worst act?
        If you believe for a minute that Marshall would agree to this, then I have some land in south central Florida I'd like to sell to you for the price of land on the outskirts of Miami. Our life's work will always be judged by our worst act. Exhibit 1: Jeffrey Epstein.

        I don't hate Marshall. I love what he did for WSU and Wichita. If the way he did that involved laying hands on players, then I lose a lot of respect. I'm not an "ends justify the means" person. If the only way to get players to achieve their potential is to abuse or humiliate them, then I've got a problem. There are a lot of D1 coaches who can recruit 4* and 5* players and develop lower-ranking players.

        Any time a prominent D1 team has over half of their players transfer, including 3 starters, there's going to be national media inquiries about what's going on.

        • I would love to see Marshall agree to some modifications to his contract and agree to some counseling. That way Marshall could stay and WSU could dodge the PR hit. I suspect that was offered. I further suspect Marshall's reaction to such an offer allowed WSU to make a legal claim to termination with cause under the insubordination clause of Marshall's contract.

              If Marshall was offered this option, if he was smart (and not letting his stubborn streak override his intelligence) he should take the modifications in a heartbeat and start trying to make the tweaks necessary to make him a truly great coach. I'd like to see him stay.

              • Take out the 7 year roll, reduce buyout to $1-$2 million, current contract expires in 4 years with no additional pay bumps, mandatory counseling, suspended from team practices and games for this year.

                • Aargh, Marshall’s worst act is smacking a 265 pound guy upside the head. Not comparable to Epstein. Had he waited a few seconds maybe Zach or a teammate would have done it for him.

                    And allegedly choking an assistant coach, and then we don't know what Austin Reaves told the law firm.

                        I head butted one of my friends/coworkers 5 years ago. Am I out of the woods yet?

                        • Trying to punch a kid through an open car window is not the act of a rational man.

                            It will depend if you employer want to get rid of you at any point. You might consider talking to your coworkers with soft tones and not head butting them any more.

                              Trying???? Are you listening to yourself? You have insight into the 'Intent' of an act you did not witness.

                                I also ran from the Safety Patrol when I was in 6th grade and was never caught.

                                Is my edumacation in peril?
