7th year Colorado men’s basketball head coach Tad Boyle and Wake Forest’s Danny Manning have something in common. They both played for Kansas during the 1984-’85 season. John Calipari was an assistant coach for that Jayhawks squad. Wednesday it was announced the three will be reunited in Egypt this summer to lead the USA Basketball U19 team in the biennial 16-team FIBA World Championship.
“The last time the three of us were together on a basketball court was 1985 at the University of Kansas. That was 32 years ago.” Tad Boyle remarked. “So, it’s something I’m really looking forward to – learning and being around Coach Cal and Danny and representing our country.
