Danny Manning Credibility Watch

You just described the rosters of about 50 teams. Probably even pretty close to ours. I’m too lazy to look. That is absolutely totally run of the mill HS rankings for a roster.

The significant difference in our roster and theirs is that we have 1 top 50 recruit(Chaundee) and they have 3. Top 50 recruits are a pretty big deal.
 
RShilldress and CharlatanDeac would have you believe that bringing in a couple athletic freshman with better measurables is somehow going to tranform us into from a terrible defense into a mediocre one and that this paired with a decent offense will get us to the tourney.

Lemme break it to ya. It ain't happenin'. Nyet. Nein. Aniyo.

Danny is who he is: a terrible defensive coach. How many fucking data points do you need before you twats accept this? If you gave Mehnning the same players on UVa's roster last offseason under the hypothetical that they haven't spent time under Bennett's tutelage having defensive principles and the fundamentals of how to play team defense drilled into them, I guaran-fucking-tee you they wouldn't have the #1 defense in the country. Far more likely is that they wouldn't crack the top 100 because Danny has shown year after year at Wake Forest that he isn't capable.

Don't believe me? Read the recent article on the Ringer. Remember that goofy-faced, lanky dude who played for UVa several seasons back? His name is Evan Nolte, and I'll leave him to explain:

In time, and in the system, lax defenders like Nolte become solid, and talented defenders like Anderson become elite. “The crazy thing,” says Nolte, “is that one-on-one, I couldn’t guard a single guard in the ACC. But in the pack line, I made a lot of impact. It’s just being in the right position. It’s effort. It’s shocking to me that more teams don’t play that way. Like, you don’t have to have Kawhi Leonard to be a great defensive team. You can do it even with someone like me on the floor.”

Maybe Mehnning could spend a summer at a Tony Bennett Pack-line clinic and maybe learn to coach a little defense (read: Dino). Heck, send one of his assistants if he's busy. How hard would that be? Instead it's the same shit, different toilets (100-300). Unless the combination of Hoard and Mucius & company are instant offensive savants (unlikely), we ain't making the tourney.

Hence, #manningthefuckout

Ah yes, the Shill who claims that the guy he is shilling for has been a fucking disaster this year. The offensive savant is on the bench and next year he has more talent to work with. We really need Mucius and Hoard to be defensive savants and for Manning (by choice or otherwise) to abandon the less than 6’6 philosophy Ayo seems to encourage in him.

If you are so sure we won’t make the tourney

Lololol, where the hell have I encouraged that?

The point is that one of VT's bigs (Sy) left the program right before the season started (mid-September), and they've been able to adjust and do well despite a lack of a frontcourt. Obviously Buzz Williams wishes he had more frontcourt depth, but he adjusted to a surprise departure. He also lost his best 3-point shooter in late July. Reading comprehension is hard.

Only wake fans can simultaneously be so stubbornly pessimistic and so blindly optimistic at the same time. It’s a thing of beauty.

There are plenty of people in bad situations they hope they can get out of. It's not particularly unique.

Low key kinda dig the nickname
 
Damn, that Ringer article is good. Sign me up. What's the intel on Ron Sanchez, the Associate Head Coach at UVA? Somebody is going to hire that dude soon, no?
 
I like the bio. A lot. Dude has been an assistant coach for 20 years, mostly under the Bennetts. Recruited Klay to WSU.

These articles are good too. Some older fans may bristle at the mention of a certain former UVa player and current assistant.

http://www.dailyprogress.com/cavali...cle_377a4a94-ac31-11e5-95d8-3bf9d8fea414.html



At this point, I'm fine going back to old playbook and hiring a UVa assistant coach to fix our program.

Easy does it, just giving you a hard time.

Hmmm. Longtime assistant of a respected coach, known for his recruiting acumen . . .

What the heck was wrong with Gaudio. Huge success quickly at Wake. Wellman fired him because he didn’t trust him.

I’m not going to stan for Dino, because I think he would have underwhelmed had he stayed. But it was foolish to fire him when we did in the same way it would be foolish to fire Manning now, even if you are sure he’s not the guy.
 
Wonder if Charlotte with their new AD will consider Kelsey or Miller for their head coaching job (or maybe the other way around)? Would be a better place to prove yourself than Winthrop or UNCG I’d think.
 
How the fuck does Louisville have a better coach than wake after the shit they’ve been through????

No doubt. Would think they'd have to be considered
