the SF DC Manusky who coached for Wade( would that mean he is from the Phillips coaching tree) recommended Vance Joseph to Wade is how this came about.

I'm sure that Manusky told Wade that he was available and the rest was just details. It's not what you know, but who you know. They have a common language and that was good enough. Personally, I would have preferred a guy with some statistical backing that he knows how to get results. But like I said, it's not what you know...

Cris Dishman was the guy I wanted all along....but perhaps Manusky wanted to keep him for himself in San Diego.
