With The potential of Landing assistant coaches
to his staff that have ties with Cal and the desperation to land The TOP recruits....THIS BATTLE WILL BE EPIC! This is what Memphis needs and DESERVES!

With Cals assistant being considered for Head positions and potential loss of Barbee as well...This leaves little margin for era and could diminish the potential prowess of UK, tilting the scale in Hardaway's favor even more!



"I’m told Memphis is targeting Tuesday for the Penny Hardaway festivities. Sounds like things are pretty far along on staff. Two former Memphis/Calipari assistants in Steve Roccaforte and Tony Barbee are staff candidates, per source"

Penny Hardaway to Memphis is done, and he may be looking to add a current UK assistant to his staff.

"However, fellow UK assistant coach Kenny Payne is considered to be a head-coaching candidate this year, though there’s not been any real chatter on schools being interested in him, yet."

"Barbee played under John Calipari at Massachusetts and served nine years as his assistant there and at Memphis. He is 131-127 overall as a head coach, but was 49-75 in four years at Auburn before being fired in 2014. He also coached four seasons at UTEP, where he had great success before taking the Auburn job."Jason Marcum SBNation"











“We were the Shaq and Kobe before Shaq and Kobe,” Shaq tells The Daily Beast of him and Penny. “We were the first team to have two guys with signature shoes. And we never had problems. I don’t know about Magic and Kareem’s relationship or any other small-big guy’s relationship, but we never had problems. The only time we had problems was when I had to tell Penny he could be too unselfish at times and he had to shoot.”

Penny Hardaway was the man,” utters Shaq in the doc, his gloomy demeanor oozing regret. He later pauses, and adds, “My first four years [in the NBA] were probably the best four years of my life.”







am I the only one wondering why Barbee would want to make a lateral move from Kentucky to Memphis? Something doesn't smell right about that.

I for one hope it is only bs or rumor.

I don't see Barbee happening. Penny isn't dumb. Im not sure why Penny would even consider him or if it's Barbee and Cal leaking it.

Cal probably has a scheme to place Barbee on the staff here to try and derail Penny's career here and thus Memphis return to glory and any competition Kentucky might face.

Barbee could pull a Cal101. Get Memphis in trouble with the NCAA the skip town, in this case back to UK.

I'm probably over thinking this one, but Cal works every angle. Hard to believe him floating Barbee to Memphis isn't another one.

I agree, something doesn't smell right about this whole leaving UK for Memphis assistant coach deal either.
Barbee pulling a HC move and starting a rumor to get a raise.
Barbee---what would he bring to the table, and why would he wanna give up his seat at the BigBoy's Table, anyway.

Could be that he feels if he coaches under Cal he isnt going to get any credit for success because Cal sucks all the oxygen out of the room.

If he is on the Memphis staff he may get some credit where he may get another shot as a head coach somewhere

Barbee already tried being his own oxygen....and he did blow up a lot of balloons when Auburn tanked badly yesterday.

Barbee brings experience. A lot of good experience. And he knows where the bodies are buried at UK. There's value. Not sure what's in it for him - mo money? It gives us the opportunity to start another "Cal's leaving UK" thread, though.

And you'd fell sorry for trolling, terrible loss Auburn...if it weren't for Pearl.
We don't need anything from Cal. That filth needs to be completely cleansed from our University
What he said ^
