They made the NCAA once, making the First Four but losing before actually playing in the main field.
I am sure Manning is a nice guy, but he is clearly way over his head at Wake. His original contract would be coming due about now and it would be an ideal time to let him go and try someone new. Instead, tanks to Wellman's ridiculous extension, Wake is likely stuck with Manning for a couple more years. Unfathomably stupid and Ron Wellman should pay the price.
