#VoteAngry for Coach Marshall and Wichita Children's Home
The Infiniti Coaches' Charity Challenge is a voting competition on ESPN.com. College basketball fans can register at espn.com/infiniti and vote for their favorite coach. The contest tipped off on Jan. 6 and will run for 10 weeks. Coaches with the most votes will advance to a round of 24, then 16, and then four. The winning coach and charity will be announced March 16.
Coach Marshall and his family have worked with the Wichita Children's Home for a number of years. Marshall's mother was adopted from a children's home in Greenwood, S.C., a fact that gives him a personal connection to the children and young adults served by WCH. At a news conference earlier this month, Marshall said, "These young people deserve a chance to be successful. They need love and they need people to care for them. If you do that, just like my mom, they can go on to be wonderful people."
Since the challenge began, Marshall has held the second position in percentage of fan voting, coming in behind Ohio State's Thad Matta. Kansas coach Bill Self (for Assists Foundation) and Kansas State coach Bruce Weber (Coaches vs. Cancer) are also participating. Former WSU coach Mark Turgeon (Alzheimer's Association) and former Shocker assistant coach Tad Boyle (Ronald McDonald House) are also competing.
Shocker and WCH supporters are asked to vote daily. "Let's go," Marshall said. "We need Shocker nation to get up. Hopefully, we can get a long run in the competition."
