Yep.. This whole Penny bashing is tough on me as I lived in Memphis most of my life and went to the Pyramid and watched him play all the time.. He was also my favorite player in NBA when he played.Also DJ Jeffries.
Penny has been successful at every stop so far in his career. I understand and agree that his comments post-Tennessee/towards Barnes are dumb and that he should just let it go whether he's asked about it or not.
But he's working with two years of backlogged 2* JUCO recruits because Tubby Smith couldn't get off his ass to recruit even the Memphis kids that wanted to be a Tiger.
I know I'm already hated by some on here for various reasons, but anyone thinking Penny sucks just because of his beef with Barnes or some of the performances this year, is just blinded by their own biases. Memphis will be a tough out next year as we lose Grant and Admiral, and who knows what the 2020 Nashville game will look like.
He has a good coach's mind and will be successful imo..
