Another TU coach who thought the pasture was greener but found out differently. He should have asked Buzz Peterson and Steve Robinson. He will probably sit on the Kansas bench for the next few years with Norm Roberts .

I thought they'd have been done with him a year or three ago.Another TU coach who thought the pasture was greener but found out differently. He should have asked Buzz Peterson and Steve Robinson. He will probably sit on the Kansas bench for the next few years with Norm Roberts .

He got us Shaq Harrison, who's one of the coolest players we've ever had. I still think he could have stuck it out with that class and gotten a better job, but hard to argue with $30 million for 6 years of work at Wake.
Agree. He lacked the chip on the shoulder of “I have to prove myself” that nearly all memorable Tulsa coaches have. I never got the feeling that he thought he was too good for us, my impression, speaking briefly with him just a few times, was that he had such a high personal confidence in himself that he felt he would be successful somewhere else regardless of what opportunities TU gave him. We were a pit stop, not a stepping stone and not a step down.He mostly did right by us. There was a lot of good energy back then. Wish he hadn’t of whimped out on AAC.
It’s more of a gray area with Robinson and what Buzz did is so shameful it still haunts him.

I thought Manning could have had a great career at TU.
He's never been 'great' any place else, and he simply didn't like the basketball
situation at Tulsa....I'm not sure where his greatness mojo would have come
from.......He's really been a coaching disaster...
It’s interesting that your impression of him is so different from mine. But you spend more time close to the program and more importantly know so much more about basketball.He could have had a good career at Tulsa but seemed to be “above” coaching at little ole Tulsa from the start. The Tulsa job always was just a stepping stone for him.CUSA to the ACC was too much too soon and possibly just too much at any time.
I do wish him the best but I.I. Is correct—he’ll probably sit next to Norm for a while and like Norm, maybe a long while.
He also had a transfer from Auburn on campus who was ready to play and couldn’t get cleared by the school. I got to play a bit of pick up ball with him in the rec center.I thought Manning could have had a great career at TU.
I ran into his uber-short assistant coach at Reasors his first year. He said Danny wasn’t worried about money...he wanted to win. They thought they could win C-USA every year.
To me, the turning point was concessions the University wouldn’t make for him.
There were two Juco big men (I think on the West Coast) that Danny badly wanted...but needed to bend the rules to get them. Didn’t happen. He was super pissed...and I don’t think he ever became “unpissed”.
I think Bill Self told him TU would support scenarios like this (David Shelton), but they didn’t.
I'd love a Swannegan right now.
I'll see your scrubs and raise you Emmanuel Eze Chinonso, Keondre Dew, and Petar Rusic.Zeldric King? I raise you an Oswaldo Gonzlaez, Aliou Keita, and JT Ivie.
Hell, I’d take a D’Andre Wright, A Rashad Smith or even a Zeldric King right now. We just need another bigish body.

It's going to be hard to land either of those this late in the process. lolTaking a big for the sake of having a big is a sucker’s play. I’d rather have good players.
o'le Dandrad?I'll switch teams, and see all of y'all,(even I.I.) with Chicken Knowles.
Why can't I get just two d's(o'le Dandrad?
Sorry if the reference was over your head,(/\) considering you prolly weren't even born yet.o'le Dandrad?
Sure hope CK has graduated. He's getting a little long in the beak to still be in college.Chicken Knowles.
I'm all in with Dave Otto.I'll see your scrubs and raise you Emmanuel Eze Chinonso, Keondre Dew, and Petar Rusic.
Oh no, Blondi Baruti came up on the river... I’ll be taking those chips.I'm all in with Dave Otto.

Alyn was decent his senior year.. he at least forced you to shoot over him and alter your shot..How about Alyn Thomsen.
Substantially better his last year. Freshman year was a tough watch.Alyn was decent his senior year.. he at least forced you to shoot over him and alter your shot..
