Lots of opinions without much effort to look at facts. Watch the video at the first link. Also note that this was an exhibition game.

"Among the allegations Stadium uncovered:
Marshall punched Morris in the head during a practice in October of 2015. “I love my teammates, the city and Wichita State,” said Morris, who played at Wichita State from 2014-18. “But if I could go back to that day when he punched me, I would have left.”
Marshall choked Lindsted, then a Shockers assistant coach, at a practice during the 2016-17 season, sources said. Lindsted, now an assistant at Minnesota, declined comment.
Marshall taunted junior forward Isaiah Poor Bear-Chandler, who is of Native American descent, “to get back on his horse” and made “Indian howling noises” while in practice during the 2018-19 season.
Marshall body-shamed a former player by lifting his shirt up during a practice in the 2015-16 season, grabbing the player’s stomach and then mocking the player’s girth.
Of the 36 players and coaches Stadium interviewed, only Morris and former Wichita State guard Ty Taylor agreed to be identified for this report. The remaining individuals, who corroborated the allegations against Marshall, said they feared retribution and possible community backlash because of Marshall’s support and power in Wichita.
In the past two years, 10 players have transferred from Wichita State, including seven after last season. That’s nearly double the national average, and an unusually high number of defections for such a storied program. Each player Stadium contacted said Marshall’s treatment of players and coaches they experienced and witnessed was the primary reason for leaving the program. Stadium spoke to eight of the 10 players who left over the past two seasons."
This does not sound like a healthy program, not when players are fleeing at that rate. I mean, like *everyone* transferred from a team that was 23-8.
Go back and look at his record when he was at Winthorp. There has never been a low-major coach who did as well as he did without getting snapped up during the coaching carousel, year after year. The guy can coach ball, but he's a giant butthole, to phrase it kindly.
Marshall issued a statement back in early October when this first broke which didn't deny any of the allegations. He just said that his coaching style "is not for everyone."
He can't even pack it up and take his act to the pros, because those guys would punch him in the teeth.
