Just because you have a lot of influence still doesn't mean you get to make the call unilaterally. For all we know, he's reminding the rest of the contingent how stupid they were for the terms of Manning's contract. Folks don't get to those jobs by getting out of their lane. Instead, it's by...

Mack recruited well at UT too, yet he fizzled the last 3-4 years he was there. Granted, that was after 10+ solid years at UT with a 'ship mixed in. No clue for the drop off at UT. IIRC, he still was recruiting well those last few years, so my best guess was that he simply didn't adapt to the new...

Pretty sure Manning would have our worst FT shooter in at the end of the Duke game when we're trying to run out the clock and Duke is in an obvious foul situation. And the team passes to said player.

It likely wasn't with Wellman at the helm, and you're worried you'd get Dino-ed. It's probably more attractive with Currie, but the lack of any real prominence left to the Wake name since a decade ago (thanks Wellman) certainly makes it more challenging. Surely, Wake is still a better job than...

But would hiring Miller 10 years ago be dumber than the initial hire of Bzz? That's gotta go down as the worst, most confusing P5 hire I can think of. So all things relative, dross would've position is less dumb than RW's actual hire.

RW really didn't learn anything from his mistakes with Bzz... Do you need someone with charisma? RW: Nope! At least with Manning, the hire wasn't a complete head scratcher. Not a great hire by any means, but it was ok and at least somewhat understandable/reasonable. Manning had ties to the...

Let's hope OSU does something stupid and fires Holtmann. There's some chatter starting, but I'm skeptical OSU is that impatient with basketball.

With 2 end of game shot opportunities, Wake managed one forced 3 with pressure in the shooter's face (who was lucky the defender unnecessarily fouled) and failed to even get a shot off before the clock expired. In both situations, Wake needed to score, yet left 0 opportunity for a rebound put...

Use a vpn. Great workaround for these situations. Plenty of solid options out there that run ~$3/mo if you pay for 1+ year subscription.

Let's see how the last 3 minutes of the game play out. I've seen Wake seem competent in spurts throughout Manning and redacted's tenures only to see abysmal late -game coaching (which is indicative of crappy in-game coaching).

So will Currie renegotiate Manning's contract and give him another season after this promising season? Seems like something the admin would support. Just trying to figure out how to temper expectations.

Can't let up late in the game if you want more credit. Wake would easily be ranked this week if it didn't let up midway through 3Q. Wake was quite dominant up until that point.

Is Bob Bradley the next Bruce Arena? Bruce did a lot of US Soccer, but he's quite limited in his vision for the program. Like most coaches, he recruits/uses only players who fit his scheme and vision. Plus Bruce is anti-analytics, which simply means he's a dinosaur in the modern game. Bob at...

If Thomas was still running the show with the Knicks, he'd have 1st round potential.

They've been better than Wake in the postseason. Since 2000, Bama has 7 NCAA trips with one of those going to the Elite 8. Wake has gone 8 times with the Sw16 run in 04. So arguably, Bama has been just as good of a program over the last 20 years, though Wake has certainly nabbed more elite...

Basketball seems like a priority given how much they have been willing to dole out for big coaching names. Bama's problem is they have no history of success in basketball. Best case scenario though for Bama is to have the equivalent of Billy D at UF. Even during UF's peak, they didn't fill their...

Does anyone here truly think we would've been able to outspend Bama for a coach? Not only that, but Bama's program probably looks better too in terms of current roster and facilities. The only reason Oats would've chosen Wake is because he preferred to be at a non-football school, location, etc...

Seemingly, the best case scenario for Manning coming back is that Wake negotiated better buyout terms for letting him stay on for one more year or perhaps the buyout terms are much better if Manning fails to make good enough progress next year. Wellman and extensions though... kinda Jekyll and Hyde.

No one else can shoot the ball worth a damn. Everyone else is below 35% from 3. No one on the team is above 50% on eFG% (unless you count Bilas). Overall, 330th in 3P%. 347th for 2P%. Seemingly, those should be better given the 109th FT%. But the poor ball movement seemingly belies the drop off...

So what are the odds JC undoes this decision? Old Ronnie said it was entirely his decision.
