Well, after rumors of Danny Manning coming to coach for Colorado Basketball, any name mentioned after that comes with some pause. Manning coming as an assistant coach is as slam dunk as you can get, so not having such an obvious win comes with trepidation. That’s why Rick Ray is an unenviable situation. He has to prove himself. Luckily for him, he will be given every opportunity and he just got himself the best boss in America in Tad Boyle.
Rick Ray has an interesting mix of experiences. He most recently was fired at Southeast Missouri State after five years as the head man there.
