The following is a small list of items I will forever remember about Manning, feel free to add to the list:
- First decision, preferred Mitch Wilbekin over Shelton Mitchell.
- "We will hang our hat on defense."
- It took him 4 years to figure out that he could not play man-to-man defense 100% of the time with the talent, or lack there of, that he had.
- His ties were as long as Donald Trump's ties.
- First coach in Wake history to call a timeout when he had already used his full allotment of timeouts for the game.
- Combined with(name redacted) in 9 years to lose more games(64) than the previous Wake coaches lost(58) in the first 21 years of the Joel.
- Responsible for 3 of the 6 times that the Deacs have lost 20 games in a single season, in over 100 years of playing basketball.
- The neck twitch.
- "We have to do a better job of staying in front of the ball."
- "We have to do a better job of getting to the free throw line."
- "We have to make shots."
- Against Syracuse's zone, "We wanted them to trap us in the corners."
- Against Syracuse, with 2 seconds on the shot-clock, called a timeout, designed a play, and the result was a 3-point shot from the corner by Okeke.
- Gave full scholarship to Bilas, but played Okeke substantial minutes over two years.
- Finally, full responsibility for total collapse of the environment in the Joel! Manning is probably a nice human being but he is about as outgoing as a turtle, which only surpasses (name redacted) who had the personality and charisma of a rock.
