That is why Marshall and assistant coach Chris Jans jumped in a car for a recruiting trip on their way to the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association coaching clinic early last month in Columbia.
They made four stops along the way, a trip reminiscent of his young days as an assistant coach. Marshall did his share of the driving, something not all head coaches are up for. They stopped for enough fast food to keep Jans satisfied —Marshall can go longer without —and the head coach changed clothes in the car to go from clinician to recruiter.
“It was old school,” Marshall said. “I saw parts of Missouri that I’ve never seen. We hit four young kids, and it was great. I don’t do that that often anymore.”
