Landry Shamet knew coming in that Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall regards timeouts as precious assets.
Marshall talked about those timeouts – don't expect one every time the opposing teams makes a few baskets – during Shamet's recruiting visit.
"He said how he didn't call many timeouts and he liked his guys to play through it," Shamet said. "It fit perfectly with everything that was going on here – blue collar, chip-on-your-shoulder, tough, that kind of mind-set."
Marshall famously hoards his timeouts, sometimes to the consternation of Shocker fans. He prefers to keep plenty on the scoreboard for late-game situations and to teach his players to figure out problems.
