Lets have Penny recruit a roster and Tubby scour the juco's he can "coach up" and see which one puts a more talented and better team on the court.

How's that just for starters?

Well ... as of right now ... Tubby has more national championships as a D1 coach than Penny has wins as a D1 Coach

This is the root of the Tubby argument. They aren't getting ranked in the recruiting. Although Pastner pulled in rnked kids and that didn't stop the downward spiral he creates.

They think Tubby doesn't recruit NCAA talent. Apparently he uses the dark arts, cash payments, and a rabbits foot he rubs every day to magically get his not NCAA talented teams into the NCAA.

They've got it backwards and think a recruiting service guy is better at recognizing talent than the guy whose job is exclusively based on his ability to evaluate talent and fit.

Ol' David Dennison can claim some kid is the next Kobe, Jordan, Shaq and get it completely wrong and declare the same thing next year and sell subscriptions to Memphis fans like candy.

Coach takes 2 guys who don't make it and he plays a year with 11 guys instead of 13. Two years in a row and he's in real trouble. 3 years and he is going to get fired.

Mean while Dennison tracks down one Peg and gets it in the hole and the fan's will never shut up about it. He can literally spend his time playing golf, saying any crazy thing he wants, make tons of money off clueless people, and never be held accountable. Pretty sweet deal.


By the way, do you think they'll sell more subscriptions with Penny recruiting local kids in Memphis, or Tubby building a program again? All these guys in on the recruits wouldn't be upset because Tubby isn't worried about maximizing their income would they? I mean imagine if they couldn't just ask the high school kids they know about Memphis recruiting him. I mean they might have to go track down some info to sell to the Memphis faithful.
