Greg Marshall as a Defense / Assistant Coach?

I know Wichita State's Greg Marshall is making in the neighborhood of $1.6 million these days, but I think he could be a nice addition to Utah's sideline. I think in the months and years to come, we'll really see Lindsey set up the coaching staff and team to succeed in part by who he encourages and puts in place for coaching assistant positions. At Wichita State, his Containment Defense has done really well even against top teams like Kentucky, which was the only team to beat the Shockers all season and by only 2 points. Not to mention the fact they were the only undefeated team entered in the NCAA tournament.

Here are some videos (there are three together if you go to the youtube link where he runs through some different drills and types of defenses they'd run at Winthrop) I guess he made when he was coaching at Winthrop University, plus a paper below illustrating the main pillars of his philosophy of defense, the Containment Defense. Enjoy.
