20. Gregg Marshall, Wichita State Shockers
Pastner, Smart and Marshall are the only ones outside of the power leagues who made the cut. Marshall has the work ethic, can evaluate and now has a Final Four appearance to sell. That’s enough to make fellow coaches nervous when he walks in the gym.

I’m putting Jans in the high-major category because of the school support and the fact the program went to the Final Four.
This shows that it's very possible to gain national respect for teams and coaches in the Valley.
