Something needed to be done. Still not sure it was Penny's people, or any one source. We've been debating Penny taking over for awhile on this board.

Good for Penny’s camp. Regardless of how this has played out, something needed to be done

Yep... and what HHT says is true. GC said yesterday that if all of this wasnt true... someone would have called him or GP and would have said “squash it” because its getting crazy... he then said “noone has called”.

Timing was bad though. Could have at least waited. I suppose by leaking it before the season is over you make it harder to keep Tubby based on his post-season performance.

Penny 'House of Cards'ed this thing and did it well. Their camp has played this nearly perfect.

Would it be unprofessional if the leak happened yesterday had we lost?

Agree, wait until the season is over, whether or not you felt it needed to be done. This was handled poorly and believe it or not makes us look petty to some.

Who cares what it looks like. Tubby telling us to lower expectations because his lazy ass won't recruit looks pretty.

I agree with you, In the end, who gives a *hit. Hiring Penny is the smart play here on several fronts. As for the twitter basketball Jones guy, all his azz does is back Tubby 24-7. He now is dissing one of the city’s favorite sons in favor of a guy who will instantly leave and move out of the city when he is let go.

RE: Penny's people "leaked" the news....
I just read the linked article there...the musings by Thamel.
Makes a lot of good points, all pointing to the seemingly better idea of Penny as an assistant to Tubby...my point about being an assistant...just making it after reading. The prospects of our team being much better next year regardless based on JUCOs in their second year and the return of Martin.
In a vacuum I agree that is not enough. I see Tubby's cap being bubble team level...which is short of where we were at the end of Pastner which had so many beside themselves.
But that changes instantly with a Penny type if that really translates into recruits going from 125 ranked to 20 ranked.
If all the rumors are true, Penny must not have been interested in that or vice Versace, even though I would think him as an active full time assistant would accomplish the same thing or at least incredibly close to the same thing as letting Tubby go...without the ugly residue.
I guess that point is up for debate. Would Penny on the bench as the number two generate the same recruits and the hopefully same additional thousands coming back to the games. For what it is worth, while at times this team this year looked horrible, and absent a few really close wins early could have been worse, the fact is this group of kids do have twenty wins, I get the opponent quality, but have over achieved to an extent.
Need better recruits to cap at better than bubble, but this is still kind of seedy.

If Penny leaked this, he is a total scumbag. I really hope it's not true.
