Maryland has hired former Wake Forest coach Danny Manning as an assistant on Mark Turgeon's staff. Manning spent the past year as an analyst for ESPN. He was fired after his team finished with a losing record in five of six seasons at Wake Forest and just one NCAA Tournament appearance. Manning and Turgeon were teammates at Kansas in the 1980s. He was an assistant on Bill Self's national championship-winning team at Kansas in in 2008. He coached at Tulsa for two seasons before getting the job at Wake Forest. Maryland is coming off a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
