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

Oofff Ph, that's tough but sadly pretty apt. We have definitely been a mess since our charismatic patriarch of "Proud to be a Deacon" passed so suddenly.

Really kinda awful that any kind of spin regarding a coach's wife would even enter into the discussion.

I was hanging out last night with a friend and one of his friends and I mentioned that I knew a colleague of theirs back when she was in grad school. They stopped me and asked, "Hold up, was she hot back then?" I laughed because yeah she was hot, but became a mom and never got back to being close to where she was back then. Then an hour later we were talking about how Wake basketball went downhill.
 
Be careful Ph, u dont wanna draw the ire of any hot moms who might be reading at 1:55am!

Dern, was secretly hoping we reached out to George Karl or Jeff van Gundy. Oh wait, OWGs.
 
Has the AD decided to have you talk with us or are you a rogue agent?
 
I'm impressed that OWGs have cracked the OWG code to get offended by the use of OWG. A breakthrough in OWG history.
 
Irish, how old is ur "old white" ass anyway?

One can really feel old trying to keep up with the bold and fresh whipper-snappers on this forum!

Just turned 31. Which is old enough for 2-day hangovers, but not quite 3-day hangovers. Which apparently exist.

And I hear you. The rage-a-holics who drank themselves into a stupor hours ago are too high-spirited for me. Can't keep up. Just accept Manning. He's happening, regardless of what we think, a concept I know I would've raged at myself five, six years ago.

If u can sift thru sum of the petulant and boorish garbage without losing ur patience, there is a lot of savvy speculative analysis and insightful discourse here!

So are all the leaks coming from the Tulsa camp in desperate attempt to shame DM into staying? Or did RW have sum ulterior motives of his own?

Haha ur def a few yrs away from 3-day hangovers and u shld still be capable of a nice, steady 3-day bender! Im 40 and I can go okay for 2-3 days with lots of water and carbs mixed in, but the 3-day hangover does exist!
 
Ya, agent leak certainly seems more likely for a DM. It's asserted here that Shaka doesn't even have an agent per se? Would think most CBB coaches wld have them in this day and age but maybe just the highest profile ones do.

Tulsa may be trying to make their job look more attractive as they transition to a new conf especially.
 
So assuming DM takes the job and finds time to do his good-byes in Tulsa, do u get the sense RW will take advantage of the FF stage to present his new coach to the world?

Or even someone like Chris Mack who has Wake ties (4 NCAAT appearances, 2 Sweet Sixteens). We could more than double his salary, but NO he has culture issues. Meanwhile, we hire a coach who has a player currently under investigation for a rape.

This is 100% speculation, but Wellman knows Mack well, if he wasn't considered I can only assume Ron isn't high on the guy from personal experience.
 
Seems like RW's stubborn pride might preclude him going back to the Prosser-Gaudio tree wrt Mack even if he felt like he was a worthy candidate. Although we still have Battle and LaRue so that theory is technically flawed.

Twill be interesting to see if DM keeps any of our asst. I'm thinking he lets them all intvw for one chair on bench. Get the best guy in his eyes for sum continuity with NC recruiting and current team member relations.

I know this board struggles with reading comp but DeacAttack screams booster more than AD plant.

Though the Maya Smart angle of this is still so lame. Designed to placate OWGs.

Whatever he posted that then got deleted was the same story I heard over #PM. Have no idea the veracity. I'll find out after I play 18 for like half my salary with one of those in question in a few months.

I've been told Mack doesn't like Wellman.

I'm fine with Danny Manning as he is. Whatever. I hope he can recruit. We need it. But I'm not fine with some low ball trash donor's metro kid coming on here to act like Tim Duncan and Chris Paul called Shaka, Maya didn't like winston, 'insert limo dick comment', and that's why this coaching search failed. It's completely a made up argument and only Fucks this whole move on notion.

You're incredibly stupid if you think we'd target a coaching prospect like Shaka and think we wouldn't get CP to make a call. He helps us recruit 2* SG's from Virgina
