‘The whole thing’s a surprise:’ Boatright discusses transitional phase for the basketball program

It’s no secret that the upcoming basketball season will be a challenging one.

One week ago Head Basketball Coach Gregg Marshall resigned from his position after a three-month-long investigation into misdemeanor allegations, the Shockers got a new head coach for the first time in 13 years, and the team had to pull out of their first game of the season due to multiple positive COVID-19 tests.

Wichita State Director of Athletics Darron Boatright discussed this crucial time for the basketball program and all the new changes in an interview with The Sunflower Tuesday.

Boatright said that Marshall’s resignation and the events leading up to it came as a surprise to him.
