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

    Oh I totally expect a press conference next week. I just think it's more like 50/50 that it'll be to announce we're bringing in a search firm to do Wellman's real job.

    Official Hoops Coaching Search Thread - Wellman Fiddles While Wake Burns Whatever. Tell your peeps in the AD's office that people were being pretty patient for almost two weeks. It was only after the past 36 hours that we've started losing our shit, and it was because it became clear with the...

    Pull the offer to Manning, offer to Pitino Jr.

    The plane has left Tulsa for Dallas.

    They filed a flight plan. Weather delay, it looks like.

    That's a lot of money, but it's only $800k more than the offer from Tulsa. Not sure it'll be worth it to him.

    I know. Where you and I disagree, I think, is that I don't believe this is a done deal by any means. Wake officials may have a good feeling about it, but they've proven pretty inept at this search so far, so no one should put much stock into how "good" they "feel" about it. If that plane is...

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

    There's no reason he can't be announced as the new coach in a press release, with an official introduction as the new coach at a press conference next week. Whenever a school calls a press conference to announce a new head coach, guess what? They say the press conference is to announce...

    This would be a great time for one of those coaches making in the area of $2m whose name hasn't been mentioned anywhere to suddenly express an interest. Maybe someone will see the shit show and feel like they'd put up with it for a few years for a million-dollar raise.

    I'm in. Plus, he'd then be a Wake alum, so maybe we'd be able to hold on to him.

    Hahahaha. Deman now says he was premature in saying it was a done deal.

    Interesting that this was just announced: Jeff Borzello @jeffborzello Louisiana Tech and head coach Mike White agree on a six-year contract extension. 3:07pm · 3 Apr 14

    Ben Swain @TheBenSwain Wake folks, why are we hearing about Manning getting counter-offers and not hearing about Manning meeting with his team? What's the news? 3:01pm · 3 Apr 14

    No. Those things can take days or weeks to iron-out with the attorneys for both sides. At this point, it's probably just a written offer letter and an acceptance, but there are usually specific ways out for either party. See Masiello, Steve and Altman, Dana.

    Things are going to get fun when that plane lands in Tulsa. I fully expect Tulsa to try to keep him, no matter what Manning has told Wellman.

    Exactly, and that's when WFU will fire off a press release naming him the new coach and announcing a press conference next week.

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

    Just because the flight plan has been filed doesn't mean they can't change it. Also, looking at the weather and the squall line that just popped up in Eastern OK/NW Arkansas, I wouldn't be surprised if the flight gets diverted. Maybe it'll be diverted here to Little Rock ...

    Wake, after Manning tells them that he's ready for the official announcement (after he's met with his players and AD). Tulsa won't announce the hiring of the Wake basketball coach.
