He had a ho hum NBA career, never won a championship.

He has some aau experience and like 5 years coaching high school in Memphis.


Yup what a get. No recruiting experience, no college or NBA coaching experience, no compliance experience, no real travel or media experience as a coach.

Hell at least Clyde Drexel won a championship in the NBA . . .

Please educate me on the awesome history of Tulsa basketball and the incredible professional players you guys have produced. Maybe Bingo Smith from the 70s? Ironic since he was from Memphis.

Penny’s NBA career was stunted by injury, but there is no denying he was an amazing basketball player prior to that. Had he continued on the same trajectory, he would have been in the Hall of Fame.

We can debate whether he’s worth the risk as a coach or if we think he will be successful, but there is no reason to rip Penny the player.


Funny all that trajectory happened when he was paired up with a real hall of famer. Otherwise he was badly over paid for and won nothing.

We've had a few, Paul Pressey comes to mind but hell he has way more coaching experience than Penny. . .

You might seriously need some professional help the 1st time Hardaway brings a 5 star stacked team and runs TU off the court the way Calipari did. My gosh, even Pastner "couldn't coach" and "was only a recruiter" and he beat Tulsa like a drum

What Memphis coach hasn't routinely beat Tulsa like a drum?






Tubby

Try who has beaten Tulsa like a drum, Calipari and Calipari players. To paraphrase he isn't walking back in that door.

You can all rationalize this anyway you want, the reality is if Penny doesn't win big your program is done. You'll be an after thought brought up in Calipari's coaching resume.

Personally I'm not betting my program, even as little as it is, on a guy with no coaching experience.
