This isn't "new" information. We heard that he was gone when he declared. Most of us dealing in reality factored that into our thoughts on Manning months ago. Only a few were actually holding out hope that Craw would come back and help Manning with his 2nd Miracles.
The decision not to fire Manning in March will set us back another few of years. Instead of a new coach coming in with a decent 2018 recruiting class to build on and the chance for a 2019 new coach bump, the best of our 2018 class will jump Pro or transfer after next season when Manning is let go. Manning will be unable to recruit 2019 effectively. The cupboard will be completely bare at the end of next year, making a hire more difficult. We'll need 2020 and 2021 classes to build a base again. On the plus side, with the right hire, we should be good again in 4-5 years.
Or, Wellman will just keep Manning on anyway and we can put caring about Wake basketball on hold until 2025 or so.
