Todd Day took over for their Dad when Boy Wonder hired him to sign these kids.

That's surprising.

Tubby Smith out, Penny Hardaway (probably) in.

hardaway? does he have any coaching experience? I know he supports a memphris aau team, but that doesn't count.

None, besides coaching Memphis East High. But he will pack the house and bring recruits, which is what they are hiring him for.

besides AAU I think (seriously) he coaches a memphis jr. high team

Purely just some shit I read online...

But I read a month or two back that Penny was basically locking down loyalty from all the local recruits, and used that to hammerfist his way into forcing them to make him coach. I thought it seemed like silly talk at the time, but if they fired Tubby on a 21-win season to hire a Jr High coach, that is telling.

He’s coach HS at Memphis East. Believe they were ranked towards the top of National Rankings this year.

And they have several top recruits. In addition to the recruits on his AAU team.

I think it is a big mistake. I didn't think Tubby was the right hire when they got him, but I don't think Penny will be either.

He should've stayed and purified himself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.

He will be doing that with the nearly $10M buyout....

CrocodileHunter · « **Reply #114 on:** March 14, 2018, 07:56:23 PM »

Sounds like Penny could funnel some of his AAU/high school team to Memphis. But what happens in a couple of years when that’s no longer an option?

hiring penny has nothing to do with a win/loss record for the next couple of seasons. it's all about money. from what i've read their attendance is at a 35 year low and donations are at a point that they are looking at paying the grizzlies to play on their own court. he'll put butts in the seats, especially with homegrown players, and memphis can worry about canning him later.

Rick Pitino was getting sniffs from Georgia supposedly and Memphis strikes me as a good school for a coach with a dead hooker problem

Penny strikes me as a Moncrief or Drexler type of WTF hire.

They are about due for another Final Four appearance to vacate.

People were wanting Todd Day to be considered for head coach some 7 years ago. Just sayin...

Barton Fink · « **Reply #123 on:** March 20, 2018, 08:29:36 PM »

Surely this puts an end to Team Penny. Can’t imagine they would allow an AAU team to be owned by a college coach. Has there been any talk on how that will shake out? Even turning over ownership could be fishy.

Team Penny still has the same folks running it, before Penny became involved. They were under different names before becoming Team Penny. I'm sure it will still go on.
