In his search to hire a third assistant for the 2018-19 season, Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall turned to the first star player he ever coached.
The hiring of Tyson Waterman, an all-conference point guard for Marshall at Winthrop from 1995-2000, was announced by Marshall on Sunday. Waterman replaces Kyle Lindsted, who accepted an assistant coach position at Minnesota earlier in May, and will join Isaac Brown and Donnie Jones on the bench.
"As a coach, Tyson is very loyal and hard-working," Marshall said in a statement. "He's a tremendous relationship builder, which will make him a valuable recruiter, and his in-depth understanding of the point guard position and knowledge of our system will make him an asset for our perimeter players.
