Maryland men’s basketball plans to add former Wake Forest and Tulsa head coach Danny Manning to the staff as an assistant coach, a source confirmed Wednesday.
Manning also served as an assistant at Kansas and is a former Jayhawk teammate of Terps coach Mark Turgeon. The 54-year-old fills the vacated spot left by DeAndre Haynes, who joined Shaka Smart’s staff at Marquette as an assistant last week.
Manning, Kansas’ all-time leading scorer, was named the college player of the year in 1988. He was the No. 1 overall pick of the 1988 NBA draft and played 15 seasons, being named to two All-Star teams and voted the 1997-98 Sixth Man of the Year.
