For better or worse, this Wake Forest basketball season looks like a referendum on coach Danny Manning.
Manning has coached the Demon Deacons since the 2014-15 season and he’s only had two seasons with more than 11 wins and one of those was just 13. The other was 19 wins in 2016-17 and the Deacs squeaked into the NCAA Tournament’s First Four before squeaking right back out again.
It’s not a lot to hang your hat on.
And Wake Forest fans still aren’t completely over the Jeff Bzdelik saga when they went into open rebellion and really turned on the program.
