Official Hoops Coaching Search Thread - Welcome Danny Manning!!!

Somehow Moonz argument with Townie the other day has the outcome of Moonz wins. Either he knows whats up and was a prophet for all the bullshit that is occurring, or more likely just knew that Wellman was going to fuck this up so doubled down on that and wins. Though in reality we all lose.

Shaka liked Wake but Maya wasn't really down with all the brownstone architecture and Shaka thought the Joel was just aight. He really liked the quad and Cavanaugh's potential but wasn't sold on our PG position. He was worried about not having enough schollies and wasn't sure if he could deal with the Winston humidity. Also, not enough solid Thai spots. He told this to all his closest friends and ex-players on a conference call. #sources

No need to be a dick. I think I put enough caveats in my posts. Take it FWIW. I could have just kept the info to myself but I thought it was worth sharing.

I wasn't making fun of you... just the nature of some of the updates.
 
Guys, any possibility that Manning is going back to announce his decision to his team before it is made public?

Isn't that ordinary procedure?

He met with Wellman in Indy. He met with TU afterwards after Wake had already basically offered. Then he told a bunch of blabbermouth coaches he was going to turn us down. Then he flew to Winston-Salem because he wants to meet with TU again and be like "yo, I visited, it was pretty nice, give me 700,000 instead of 600,000"

Interesting scenario if you believe what the current press says. I don't believe anything they say. Journalism is basically dead in this country. Especially sports journalism.
 
Is it common practice to bring a coach to campus before they are certain the deal is on? I thought all the hoodoo takes place in a neutral spot and then the newly hired coach comes to the presser.
 
From the Tulsa board
I wouldn't call his 2 years here a turn around yet or describe it as "quite remarkable". The turn-around from the beginning of this year is extremely impressive. However C-USA without Houston, UCF and Memphis, was significantly weaker (C-USA went from #8-#11th RPI under DW to now 13th). I wasn't happy with DW and I'm very happy with Manning. However, the program hasn't been turned around yet. The work has just begun. If Manning leaves now, it puts TU in a very difficult spot.

This is not what a turnaround looks like:

2010-11: 19-13 (11-5; lost in C-USA semi-final; C-USA #11 RPI)
2011-12: 17-14 (10-6; lost in C-USA quarter-final; C-USA #8 RPI)
2012-13: 17-16 (8-8; lost to #20 Mem in C-USA semi-final; CBI first round loss; C-USA #11 RPI)
2013-14: 21-13 (13-3; won C-USA tournament - all against the weakest C-USA in years: C-USA #13 RPI)

So far, this is more of the same outside of one outstanding C-USA tournament run by Manning (Which was awesome). I understand the difference between making the tournament and not is huge. However, C-USA was awful this year. Next year, Manning would face a much more difficult task in the AAC. It seems like he is going to bolt at the first opportunity and avoid that potential pitfall (somewhat similar to Graham leaving the year before TU had to face OSU, OU & Boise St in the first month).

Asked if he believed a hire was imminent, WFU's Steve Shutt paused, and said "I don't know. I'm not sure where we're at."


LOL, what a clown shoe operation.
