Good upgrade from Tubby...Penny has done well at both the high school and AAU level as a coach...three in a row state champs.

Will be interesting to see who he pulls in for recruits.

Replaced a good coach with a good recruiter. Bold move Cotton, let's see if it works out for them.

We'll see if he's Fred Hoiberg or Chris Mullin

Not sure how you can definitively say this is an upgrade.

Heard he's got some strong recruiting ties in Chicago

I guess we'll see if he is an upgrade from Tubby. The lack of D1 coaching experience would scare me if I was a Memphis fan. With that said, I didn't like the Hoiberg hire when it was announced.

Will he hire Lil' Penny as an assistant?

What will they wear?

Lil Penny always sorta creeped me out. Your second gif isn't helping me change my mind.

Is Tubby really a good coach anymore? Nine years in the B12 and B10 without a single winning conference record would seem to suggest otherwise

How about Lil' Teddy from No Diggity?

Butch McRae!

No diggity, no doubt.

I don't see this working out for them.

Technically, he has more coaching experience than Hoiberg did.

Doesn't matter. Stars coming back as the coach almost never works out.
Hoiberg was an extreme exception.

Go look at the history of nba all stars as coaches. Not too good. And they are hiring him because of recruits not because of coaching.

 

[knowlesjam]

Definitely a short term "Wow" factor with the ticket buyers and recruits...but will it be sustainable? Maybe...maybe not. History has not been kind for the majority of this type of hires.

No diggity, no doubt.
