ACC Roundup - Wake Flailing

Related Topics: Jeff Bzdelik

We’ve had a theory, or maybe just an observation, about Wake Forest basketball for some time now: the Deacs tend to hire introverted men as coaches. Just look down the list since Carl Tacy:

  • Tacy
  • Bob Staack
  • Dave Odom
  • Skip Prosser
  • Dino Gaudio
  • Jeff Bzdelik
  • Danny Manning

The main exceptions are Odom, who was a big talker but fundamentally reserved, and Gaudio, who really didn’t do well.

There’s no major point here, just an observation.

Well, there is a point, come to think of it.
