Former UConn star and NBA player Donyell Marshall is joining the coaching staff at Rider University, according to the Star-Ledger.
Marshall got to know Rider’s head coach Kevin Baggett, who was recruiting Marshall’s son, Marquis, of Berks Catholic (Pa.)
“I got to know Kevin and Mike (assistant coach Witcoskie) when they were recruiting my son. Mike and I stayed in touch, and when he told me there was an opening on the staff, I asked him to talk to Kevin for me.”
Marshall always thought he'd be doing a coaching or TV job.
“When I was playing, I thought I would either go into coaching or TV when I was finished. I did the TV thing, and I liked it, but when I wasn’t doing games, I was kind of bored.”
