Wake Forest to name Danny Manning head coach

Wake Forest will be coached by Danny Manning, according to ESPN.

Manning replaces Jeff Bzdelik, who was forced to resign earlier in the month after four forgettable seasons. Bzdelik was 51-76 overall and 17-51 in ACC play.

Manning, 47, was the No. 1 overall pick of the 1988 NBA draft. He played 15 seasons in the league, and then joined Bill Self's staff at Kansas -- where he was an assistant from 2006-12. Tulsa finished 21-13 this season and tied for first in C-USA with a 13-3 mark.
