The Marshall University Men’s soccer team stood gathered at the end of practice receiving final instruction and motivation from head coach Bob Gray. Assistant coach Thomas Olivier attributes his time coaching at Marshall University solely to Gray.
“I was working for the West Virginia Soccer Association for Coach Gray, and he had an opening on his staff last minute because Michael Nissim, the old assistant, was going to law school,” Olivier said when asked about his transition to the Thundering Herd. “It happened on a spur of the moment.”
Olivier is beginning his eighth season as the assistant coach at Marshall.
