Thirteen years later, he is a part of the most successful four-year run that the Colorado Buffaloes have ever experienced in program history. He joined head coach Tad Boyle in Boulder after coaching at Texas Christian from 2008-2010, Iowa State from 2006-2008, Marquette for the 2005-2006 season and five years at Wichita State, where he first paired up with Boyle and fellow Colorado assistant Mike Rohn.
While his time in the Bronx might have been his first taste of the coaching lifestyle, Prioleau said it was the five years he spent at Wichita State, with then head coach Mark Turgeon, Boyle and Rohn, which solidified his dedication to the craft. "That was the time that really built my foundation as a coach because I was there for five years, rather than being there for two years and then going somewhere else," he explained. "My base and ground roots of coaching came from that time at Wichita. That's where it started to take on a whole new form."
As for his evaluation skills, there need be no doubts. Prioleau has helped lead Wesley Johnson-a current Los Angeles Lakers forward and former fourth-pick in the NBA Draft-to Iowa State, Paul Miller to Wichita State (2006 MVC Player of the Year) and countless others to his various coaching locales. While he isn't alone in being responsible for Colorado recruiting at a historic level, he's certainly a vital kog in the evaluation machine that has become the Buffs' staff.
"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:
