Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall denies ever striking a player or colleague.
Last weekend, multiple reports came outthat suggested a history of physical and mental abuse by Marshall against former players, coaches and even a Wichita State student.
“In response to the allegations put forward in the media, I simply state unequivocally that I have never physically struck a player or colleague,” Marshall wrote. “Allegations claiming otherwise are false.”

Morris’ allegations were reported in a six-month investigation by Stadium. Stadium said multiple players, who wished to remain anonymous due to backlash, confirmed both incidents.
The Eagle independently contacted five former players, who also asked to remain anonymous, who said that Marshall punched Morris in the back of the head and that the coach put his hand around the throat of Lindsted.
Marshall reiterated that he is fully cooperating with the independent investigation by Tueth Keeney, a St. Louis-based law firm. But Marshall voiced his concerns about how the allegations are being handled by media.
“It is important that the investigation conclude its work without outside influence,” Marshall said. “An unrelenting character assassination by a member of the media that repeatedly targets me and my family threatens to undermine the impartiality of the investigation.”
