WSU’s Head Men’s Basketball Coach Greg Marshall is facing allegations of misconduct, sparking an internal investigation.
Wichita State University issued a statement Friday confirming that an independent investigation is being conducted within its Men’s Basketball Program.
The accusations against Marshall include instances of verbal abuse and a physical confrontation with a former assistant coach, as well as with former player Shaq Morris, among others.
Marshall has said he is cooperating fully with interviews. He later released a statement that said in part:
“My coaching style isn’t for everyone. Many players thrive in the system we have created and are energized by our team culture. For those players, I am a motivator, a pusher, someone who can tap into their greatest potential. For others, I can be demanding, harsh or strict. I don’t argue with those descriptions.
What I am not is demeaning or abusive. I have deep respect for all my players. I believe unequivocally in their value as athletes, as students, and as people. Any portrayal of me to the contrary is wrong. ”
