FUCK YOU, RON WELLMAN

I remember Deman or some other insider on the old premium boards hinting that Izzo was a possibility ... LOL

And Deman actually thought we were going to get Billy Donovan.

I was at work in the old chat messaging that site had when shit was going down. Firing and then hiring [Redacted]. IT called my desk. Oops.

Odom didn’t really get fired, more like he was not warmly greeted, appreciated and welcomed back. Sort of a we’re not happy being this stale after Duncan, who was a gift.

But Odom also recruited Rodney and Chill, so he, just like Skip, would have had some very good seasons, if able to continue.

And he left Skip 2 NBA forwards in Songaila and Howard.

Skip was a perfect fit for Wake. And we were really good, until it really mattered. He was street smart, and could sniff out a charlatan.

Only a fool or a fraud would disparage Skip.

Very good post.

Horse Shit!!! B-Chill sucks and this quote tells us all we need to know about your basketball IQ. WTF has he went through? He got the job handed to him from being on the staff with his dad. The entire Childress, Manning and Lil Chill is a mess. We would've been much better off with out all 3 and that's the truth..

Take out Manning and the Chills would have been fine. Chill on the attacks on the Chills.

So we just ignore the fact that Skip went 8-24 in the ACC his last two years? Maybe he would have turned it around but our fanbase overrates Prosser due to his tragic death.

He did have 2 'not good' years. But, he had a big class committed coming in. I imagine that was a big reason to go with Dino right away.

You don't ignore it. You put it in perspective. Skip also coached some of the best offenses that Wake and the ACC has seen. And judging from the success Dino had, was well on his way to righting the ship. Skip's offense with the focus Dino brought to defense after his passing would have made a hell of a combination going forward.

Our program for one year of Aminu. Flop Walker. And kick em in the back Woods.

Those three were consensus high level recruits. They didn't all turn out well. Nobody knows if Skip's mentoring would have led to different outcomes. He seemed to have a knack for handling people.

Skip would have turned it around and no doubt he would still be our coach today.

I totally agree that we need to chill on the Chills:

1. Randolph is absolutely one of our all-time greats. He single-handedly brought us our first ACC Championship in 33 years and there has never been a player in Wake history that was more of a clutch performer, nobody.

2. During his time as an assistant, the only positive press the program has received has been when his 1995 Tournament performance and the crossover that put McInnis on his ass were shown on TV.

3. The criticism of Brandon is way over board. After losing Crawford, we were damn lucky to have him.

4. Numbers don't lie. Brandon finished his career as the only active ACC player with 1400 points and 400 assists. This past season he finished 8th in scoring, 8th in free throw percentage, and 7th in assists. Those numbers are better than most of the 15 players that made the All ACC Team. These numbers in the ACC do not belong to someone that "could not start at UNCG", give me a break!

Lets turn our attention to getting rid of our untalented "neck-twitcher" coach and lay off the Chills.

Absolutely.

Why is Danny Manning responsible for this mess and Randolph Childress isn't? Randolph is "Associate Head Coach" and has been for the last four years. That title comes with increased responsibility for the mess that is our program.

He is. I haven't confirmed, but my guess is that RC will have more losses than any coach in Wake history and BC will have more losses than any player in Wake history.

Dude, maybe you have avoided being married. If so, you probably don't understand how truly miserable and unimportant the Associate Head Coach in getting to decide jack.

Married????? You had to get married to be treated like that?

Come on, the truth will set you free.

Maybe try sticking up for yourself sometime?
