… contarian that I seem to be this week…
Danny Manning could be a grand slam home run for the Demon Deacons…
Yes… he’s still GOTT a lot to learn, to practice and to experience in order to be a top level D1 basketball coach… He’ll need a serious staff to do his best… I’m glad we’re keeping Coach Lutz… ’cause a carbon copy is exactly what Manning will need…
BUT… While some other ‘names’ may be equal… I can’t think of anybody else who can do a better job of…
— filling the Joel with fans…
— relating to and talking to “today’s” student athletes…
… given Manning’s experience and price range…
And perhaps the most important thing is…
He’s coming home, knows the ACC culture and traditions, and will be damn hungry for success…
My radar says this is a done deal… unless WF mucks it up…
And I do not look forward to playing Manning’s Demons Deacons…
Every good team is a mirror image of it’s Coach’s personality.
