Marshall spent two years (1985–1987) as an assistant at his alma mater, Randolph-Macon College, in Ashland, Virginia, and another year as an assistant at Belmont Abbey College during the 1987–88 season.[http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/1db95ae7?DB_OEM_ID=7500#/1db95ae7/1 2011–12 Wichita State University Shockers Men's Basketball fact Book], Wichita State University Athletic Department, Wichita, Kansas, pp. 1–3, 15, 21, 38–39 (2011). Retrieved June 15, 2012. He then spent eight years under John Kresse at the College of Charleston from 1988 to 1996, where the program received an at-large 1994 NCAA bid, and NIT invitations in 1995 and 1996. He became an assistant coach at Marshall University, serving from 1996 to 1998.

Marshall became the head coach at Winthrop University in 1998, and led the Winthrop Eagles men's basketball team to seven NCAA tournament appearances and transformed a previously undistinguished program into a mid-major powerhouse. In his first season at Winthrop in 1998–99, he compiled a record of 19–8 (9–1 in Big South Conference play), coaching the Eagles to their first regular season Big South title. They went on to win the Big South Conference tournament, earning the Eagles their first-ever bid to the NCAA tournament. As a No. 16 seed, the team lost to the No. 1 seed Auburn Tigers in the first round, 80–41.Associated Press, "[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/colbask/longterm/1999/men/articles/auburnwinthrop12.htm Top-Seeded Auburn Demolishes Winthrop, 80–41]," The Washington Post (March 11, 1999). Retrieved June 15, 2012.

During his nine seasons at Winthrop, Marshall coached the team to six regular season titles (1999, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007), seven Big South tournament titles (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007), six 20-win seasons (1999, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007), and was named Big South Coach of the Year four times (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007). In 2006, he became the all-time most successful coach in Winthrop men's basketball history. During the 2006–07 season, Marshall became the first coach in the history of the Big South Conference to have his team go undefeated in conference play.

The 2006 NCAA Tournament matched No. 15 seed Winthrop against the No. 2 seed Tennessee Volunteers, the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division champion, in the first round. Winthrop led for much of the game, only to lose 63–61 on a long jump shot with 2.9 seconds remaining."[http://cbs.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/gamecenter/recap/NCAAB_20060316_WINTHR@TN Lofton lofts up clutch jumper as Vols survive first-round scare]," CBSSports.com (March 16, 2006).

Marshall's success at the mid-major level created a lot of speculation that he could be a contender for the coaching position at North Carolina State University, which was vacated with the departure of Herb Sendek. Sidney Lowe, a former NC State player and former head coach of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies, was eventually named the head coach of the Wolfpack.

In 2013–14, Marshall led Wichita State to arguably the greatest season in school history. The Shockers steamrolled through the regular season, becoming the second Division I team to start a regular season with 30 consecutive wins (31–0). They rose as high as second in both major polls in late February, the highest that a Shocker team has been ranked since 1981. On March 9, 2014, Wichita State finished their regular season and the Missouri Valley Conference tournament with a record of 34–0, heading into the NCAA Tournament undefeated. That record ties an NCAA Division I Men's basketball record, held by the UNLV, set in 1991. Wichita State later went on to win their first game of the 2014 NCAA tournament versus Cal Poly 64–37. The Shockers were 35–0, becoming the first team in men's Division I basketball history to start with 35 wins and zero losses. In the third round of the tournament they squared off against Kentucky.
