The reporter who followed that rant sounded like he was holding in diarrhea trying to get that question out without being offensive towards Penny.

I'm no Penny fan, but that was a stupid, disrespectful question, and I am glad he called him on it.

It was a stupid question but Penny needed to stay professional. Him answering that question like that is exactly what the guy wanted.

fedex money bags can only get you the recruits, they can't coach them

He won the NIT last year and is recruiting good. He needs 2-3 more wins a year and make the tournament consistently. That's not the definition being "in the shitter." He needs to get "over the hump."

The Memphis basketball program has been a disaster this year, both on and off the court. It is a reasonable question to ask after a 3rd straight AAC loss for the preseason #12 team that brought in the #1 recruiting class. Barring them winning the AAC conference tournament, they will miss the NCAA tournament for the 4th straight year in the 4 seasons Penny has been the coach. The guy can clearly recruit, but has done nothing to indicate he can successfully coach and operate a major college basketball program.

Glad he was honest and tore into that reporter. You know what the team is dealing with and you ask a jackass question so he treated the reporter like he was a jackass.

That’s not a meltdown, that’s honesty.

He had the #1 recruiting class in 2019 and 2021. In NCAA basketball, missing the tournament is not acceptable with those classes. Kids don't stick around for 4 years anymore

jackass question from the reporter.

They forced a guy out who was in the tourney 4 or 5 times. Still waiting for Penny, and he’s had multiple years. If you want to be a professional, act like one.

I remember him being a bit of a bitch back in his playing days.

He lost both ends of a home and home to a UGA team coached by Tom Crean.

That ought to be enough to justify his firing right there...

Penny’s problem is he’s been running his mouth about other coaches and programs so nobody has any sympathy for him when shite like this happens.
