Director of athletic performance Clif Marshall left the Indiana men’s basketball program, according to a post on his Instagram account Monday.
Marshall spent eight years at Indiana, joining in 2017 for former head coach Archie Miller’s first season. He spent 10 years at Ignition Athletics in Cincinnati before joining the Hoosiers, holding the same position.
“My family and I will miss being a part of one of the greatest basketball programs in the country,” Marshall said in the post. “We lived it and we loved it. To the players, coaches, administration, support staff, student managers, fans, and media members whom I have met along the way, I am grateful for each one of you.”
In 2014, Marshall first entered the college basketball landscape, helping Xavier University as the speed and agility coach until 2017. He also helped train the Dayton University program in 2015, where Miller was the head coach.
At Indiana, Marshall coached multiple program standouts and future NBA players such as Trayce Jackson-Davis, Jalen Hood-Schifino and Kel’el Ware. In the comment section of Marshall’s post, Jackson-Davis credited him as “one of the main reasons” as to why he went to Indiana.
“I have learned in my 25 years as a coach that the results are temporary, but the relationships are eternal,” Marshall said. “I thank God for the moments that became memories over the last 8 years.”
Along with Marshall, head men’s basketball athletic trainer Tim Garl also announced he would be parting ways with the program Monday. Both departures come after Indiana hired Darian DeVries from West Virginia University on March 18 as the Hoosiers’ 31st head coach.
