Wichita State is conducting an internal investigation into the conduct of basketball coach Gregg Marshall, sources confirmed to CBS Sports on Thursday. The Athletic was first to report the investigation. The scope of the investigation is wide-ranging but primarily centers on how he treats his players, with alleged physical abuse among the several alarming accounts involved in the report.

Among the allegations in the report include shoving former player Shaq Morris in the back; punching Morris between the shoulders near his neck; and attempting to punch a student through the driver's window after the student parked in Marshall's reserved parking spot.

Gregg Marshall always came off as a massive a-hole, so I believe it.

More details from The Athletic regarding the incident where he allegedaly tried to punch a student through their car window (expletives edited from story )

quote:

• In the spring of 2016, in an incident widely discussed in the athletic department, Marshall was approaching his parking spot outside of his office at Koch Arena and a student-athlete from another sport was pulling out of Marshall’s spot. It was a regular occurrence for students to park in Marshall’s spot to run in quickly to the tutoring center. If Marshall discovered someone parked in his spot, he would typically double park behind the car. As Marshall approached his spot that day, he did not get there fast enough to block the student in. Instead, Marshall quickly turned his car around and followed the student’s car, eventually blocking his car at an intersection in the parking lot. According to an eyewitness, Marshall got out of his car and started yelling at the student, asking “Do you know who the f*** I am?”

The student had his window down and responded, “I don’t give a f*** who you are.” Marshall approached the car and, according to the eyewitness, attempted to punch the student through the driver’s window.

Greg is a psycho, everyone knows that, but his players love him. He'll come out of this just fine.

Thank God he turned down the Bama job many yrs ago. Sounds like he's been trying to be like Bobby Knight with the physical temper tantrums. Can't get away with that today.

Sounds like a bunch of fricking crybabies to me. Very Leach/TT feel to this one.

The Rutgers coach from 2013 tried this already.

After this coming season you won't be laughing about Oats. The guy can flat out coach & recruit. Last yr we had no quality big men or depth. That changes this yr with the incoming talent & players coming back from injuries. He's got an excellent staff so the future is bright. Now your coach is embarrassing the University with NCAA recruiting violations that one day will come home to roost & y'all will have to let him go.

10 players transferring in the last 2 seasons, 7 in last season alone, tells a different story, at least recently.

If these prove true, and it seems well-vetted, with people on record, and a lot of specifics of the people who were involved, plus other outlets are confirming at least some of it, I don’t see any way he does.

And while not as bad as choking a coach or punching a player, telling a player of Native American decent to get “back on his horse” and then making Indian howling noises isn’t going to play well for a representative of a university

I was just reading about that the other day, and this feels nothing like that AT ALL in any way. The allegations themselves are much worse, the support for the allegations is much greater, and there are far more allegations.
