Reports: Wichita State hires defensive guru as third assistant coach

Wichita State has according to multiple reports hired New Mexico State associate head coach Lou Gudino as its third assistant coach to replace Donnie Jones, who left for an assistant position with Dayton.

The hire of Gudino would finalize what has been a busy offseason for Gregg Marshall and the Shockers. WSU replaced nine of 13 scholarship players, added two new walk-ons and changed out two assistant coaches from the 2017-18 season.

Gudino comes to WSU with a wealth of Division I coaching experience and even some past history with the Shockers.

The most direct tie comes from his one season at New Mexico State, where Gudino was recruited by Chris Jans, a long-time disciple of Marshall at WSU, to be his associate head coach.
