I’m delighted with the overall trajectory of our basketball program and excited about the momentum on the court. Coach Manning has our student-athletes competing at the highest level. While we are judged ultimately by our record, improvements are evident in certain aspects of the program, and, we believe Coach Manning will continue to meet the standard of historical competitiveness that we expect from our program. We are grateful to Coach Manning for his leadership, particularly from a recruiting, academic and overall culture standpoint. At the same time, winning is important, and we know that with Coach Manning we can compete for championships at Wake Forest.
Coach Manning has built a complete program that attracts top talent, develops them as young men and sustains a winning mentality. His leadership, energy and commitment to excellence has galvanized our passionate fan base and established the winning culture necessary to compete in the Atlantic Coach Conference.
