It would be interesting to learn more about the circumstances surrounding this:

"He was hired by Tulsa in 2012 and led the Golden Hurricane to a 17-16 mark and an appearance in the CBI that season despite having the program's top two players, [URL='http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/51323/jordan-clarkson']Jordan Clarkson[/URL] and [URL='http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/57052/eric-mcclellan']Eric McClellan[/URL], transfer. 
Tulsa finished 21-13 this season and tied for first in Conference USA with a 13-3 mark. The Golden Hurricane lost to UCLA in the second round of the NCAA tournament."

I always got a chuckle out of Larry Brown/Kansas' hiring of Ed Manning as an assistant coach, shortly before Danny committed to Kansas. Seems the former NBA journeyman, who had been driving a truck for several years, suddenly morphed into an assistant at one of the premier programs in the country. And then one of the most highly sought-after recruits in the country suddenly comes on board as well. But I guess you can't blame the son for that.

Anyway, good luck to him, I always liked the guy.
