Gregg Marshall, Bill Self and Bruce Weber competing in charity contest

Wichita State men’s basketball coach Gregg Marshall loves to compete. Competing for his favorite charity gets him fired up in a different way than his duties on game day.

Marshall joined 47 other NCAA basketball coaches in a voting competition on ESPN.com on Monday afternoon. Fans can register at espn.com/infiniti and vote for their favorite coach. Winners advance to the round of 24, then 16, and then four. The winning charity, announced March 16, receives $100,000.

Marshall’s charity is the Wichita Children’s Home, an organization he and his family worked with for several years. Each charity receives $1,000 to start.

“Let’s go,” Marshall said. “We need Shocker nation to get up. We moved to sixth in the polls (Monday), so hopefully we can get a long run in this competition.”

Marshall’s mother was adopted from a children’s home in Greenwood, S.C., giving him a personal connection to the children served at the Wichita Children’s Home.

“These young people, they deserve a chance to be successful,” he said. “Sometimes they have tough situations that they’re coming from. They just need love and they need people to care for them. If you do that, just like my mom, they can go on to be wonderful people.”

That's odd, the link worked for me.

Remember to vote once a day!

[rrshock]

So do the coaches with a certain school attached to their names move on if they didn't get votes? That's how the polls work right?

[ShockTalk]

[OTR Shockfan]

The link was good. It was just the text that was wrong.

[1979Shocker]

Still in second place holding steady at 18%.

[Heinro]

Just bumping.

[ShockTalk]

Voted today. Have you?

If I was one of the many coaches with a 0%, I would be embarrassed to have my name associated with a fan base that cares so little about worthy causes.

It's not looking good for GM. However, if they tally the votes based on a per capita fanbase basis, he should take this hands down.

Reread the rules. This is a survive and advance competition, with those that advance receiving increasing larger contributions to the charity of their choice. Marshall is in 2nd by a wide margin. There appear to be more coaches with no votes than coaches that will advance to the next round.
