I agree as much as I'd hate to see him go. A framed front page of the Topeka Capital-Journal from 1988 hangs to my right as I post. The top picture is Danny driving on Stacy King and the bottom picture is Milt Newton going up for a layup. The headline is "Kansas Wins NCAA Championship." I've had it on a wall where ever I'ved lived since that day.

KU basketball will be just fine as long as Self remains in Lawrence.

True but Danny's recruiting efforts and work with the bigs should not be under-rated. It takes a team effort on the floor and on the bench. Would Aldrich have been what he was without Manning? Withey? I doubt it regarding Withey.

I don't underrate it, but Manning moving on was always inevitable in my mind. KU can withstand losing him.

Again I agree, just really appreciate all he's done under the radar for the team. We'll need someone killer to replace him. I'm sure Bill knows a guy.

Tulsa will be Manning's head coaching undergrad. Then he'll move on to a bigger program (Illinois?) before finally coming home when Self retires or otherwise moves on.

If Aldrich is smart enough, he'd ask to be involved in coaching at KU, upon Manning's departure.

Good luck, Mr. Manning, wherever you be.

Tulsa also has a much more impressive post season resume than a lot of schools out there.
Wait. Self was offered the Nebraska job? :spock:

You do realize that Manning/Self are roughly the same age. If Self stays until retirement, I doubt Manning is the choice to succeed him.

He could retire early due to accomplishing everything a hundred times already!

Well after John Calipari and Rick Pitino turned it down, they had to offer it to someone.

I guess its just insurance in case Self makes that jump to the NBA that people occasionally bring up.

I think it would be awful to lose Danny, he’s definitely our 2nd most important coach behind Self, but if it what he wants to do then best of luck to him.

Over 10 years ago while at Tulsa Self was offered the Nebraska job and turned it down. He used Neb to get a raise at TU.

It would be nice if these things could wait until after a team is done playing for the year. Just sayin.

Danny deserves a HC job though so if he takes one, his new team will become my second favorite.
Yeah. I already live in Tulsa so I can root for Danny Manning and the Golden Hurricanes pretty easily. Going to TU games is cheap as hell too.

oooh ... Aldrich coming back to coach might be a happy thing.


hadn't thought about that, is he still in the NBA developmental league?
