Marshall has No. 20 Wichita State flying high

continued from page 2

Marshall insists he’s not a sentimental person, despite all the keepsakes. But that would help to explain why he spent so many years in Rock Hill, S.C., and why he’s turned down offers to leave Wichita State for higher-paying jobs in marquee conferences.

Besides, Marshall said, he has a seven-year contract in the seven figures that rolls over every year, and there’s something to be said for stability. Another good recruiting class is coming in next season, and with a few returning stars, the Shockers’ momentum appears to be building rather than petering out.

Is it possible that Marshall will move on someday? Sure. Maybe even this year. But it would take the right offer in the right place, and it would have to come at the right time.

“You can’t buy happy,” he said with conviction. “Winning is important to me. We’ve proven we can win here. And so it would have to be really, really special.”
