I am absolutely with you that our basketball program is in a bad spot and Manning should be fired. I think he should be fired now, so planning can begin for hiring a great staff in the spring. But I think the message really becomes diluted when people go after Wellman, Hatch, the BOT, the school in general, etc. I get the blame Wellman receives, and I think it would be beneficial to basketball if he stepped down before the next coach is hired, but it is clear that many parts of the athletic department are doing really well right now, so in my opinion attacking the athletic department in general is a misguided and ineffective approach.
