RE: Lots of smoke starting to show in Memphis
The Memphis Commercial Appeal is now in on the Penny to Memphis story.

https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/s...400065002/

"Why would Memphis get rid of a future Hall of Fame coach? He’s only been given two years. His team was picked to finish ninth in the conference this season and overachieved to finish fifth. Pay a guy like that $9.75 million to go away? Those Memphis people are delusional.

To which the obvious response is: Who cares what other people think? What is their investment in Memphis basketball? They likely don’t know that attendance is at a 48-year-low. They likely don’t know that Smith hasn’t been able to recruit a high school player out of Memphis since he got the job. They likely don’t know that athletic department contributions are down by $1.1 million and that the sagging attendance will cost Memphis another $800,000 under the FedExForum lease."
