Knowing Coach Manning had such an incredible collegiate career, I was curious if he's ever seen first-hand such a tough stretch for a team. I was kind of surprised to hear him tell me that the 1996-97 Phoenix Suns began the year 0-13, yet made the playoffs that year.

Here's what he said:
"We went through a spell where we couldn't win games. It was at the start of the season, and we ended up making the playoffs. We went 0-13 at the start of the year. You just continue to grind and work and get better each and every time you step out on the court. "
