Gregg Marshall is an asshole? What a shocker

    He shoulda been fired right after that display of a$$hole-ishness.

    Another story, with more meat and details, from Stadium.

    Sources: Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall Punched Player, Choked Assistant - Stadium

    This is outstanding work, with a flock of players transferring out of a successful program and away from a successful coach, followed by months of legwork and beating the bushes and working sources to uncover what is (allegedly) the root problem, with a culture of abuse. If these reports are true, they are way, way worse than the body of work put together by Bobby Knight.

    Not to beat a dead horse, but these stories moved last night, and the Wichita Eagle beat writer has … tweeted out links to them. Maybe he's got his eyes on being Wichita State's version of Bob Hammel? Pretty embarrassing fail on a monster story that happens on the paper's top sports beat (by a mile).

    The answer to Gregg Marshall's question - "don't you know who I am?" - is "no, I do not."

    Kind of like when the Centre Daily Times got its ass handed to it on the Paterno/Sandusky stuff.

    I find this curious that it's coming out now... with Wichita State as "just another AAC team" and not the team that wins the MVC every year and is a threat to make a deep run.

    When you're at a mid-major that is, let's face it, out of the way like Wichita is and you have a run of success... people are going to wonder if everything is on the up-and-up.

    We saw this in 1981. Makes perfect sense that Xavier McDaniel and Antoine Carr would want to spend their college years at... Wichita State.

    I mean, they had like *everyone* transfer from last year's team that won a shit-ton of games. When things are going great and people still want to GTFO, it's pretty clear that something is up.

    In fairness the CDT did not have the staff the Patriot-News did, and Sara Ganim had sources in State College and Harrisburg.

    Well done on the thread title. And Moddy's story was excellent.

    ... and what do the Centre Daily Times and Wichita Eagle have in common?

    (Hint: This is a serious softball.)
