If any candidate for a coaching vacancy had an argument as compelling as Isaac Brown’s, I’d like to hear it.
Last November, a structural assessment of Wichita State hinted at collapse. Earlier in the spring, eight players entered the transfer portal. Later, a university investigation substantiated claims that coach Gregg Marshall subjected players to mental and physical abuse. By November, Marshall was out. Brown, formerly Marshall’s lead assistant, was in. And if that wasn’t enough, there was a global pandemic raging.
All he did was lead the Shockers to the American Athletic Conference title in the regular season and at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
