Shocking news from the G5 basketball world today - Manhattan is firing their coach 2 weeks before the season begins. MAAC Preseason player of the year has entered the transfer portal with more almost certainly to come. Perez started his career at Gardner Webb. Could be some intriguing names to look at for a young team. Any transfers this late would have to come after the Fall semester, but who knows.

Wow that's wild. Not sure what it bodes for Manhattan basketball in future years, but based on what their players are saying this season just took a nosedive for them. If it really is just a contract dispute it's a really poor look for school to dismiss the coach two weeks before tipoffs. Regardless Perez will get a lot of interest.

Re: Manhattan Basketball Turmoil
With the summer departure of Ogletree we do have an extra scholarship available for the season if Perez would entertain a visit to Boone
