Thursday, March 1st, 2018 - Crucial Day for Tiger Basketball
Might look back years from now and see that as a crucial date in our program's history. Penny wasn't going to wait around forever. And he would have taken some or all of his player's with him.
How long will Tubby rue that day? 24 point loss at home to USF, an NCAA bottom feeder.
If the Tigers had won that eminently winnable game, Memphis would now be on an 8-game winning streak, and a lock for the NIT. And Tubby would still be out coach for year 3, IMO.

Perhaps.
And might have made a deal with Penny to fully join the staff which might accomplish the same improved level of recruits.
I am guessing Hardaway is not interested in that...but I still wish we were on an 8 game streak.

I don't trust this administration with basketball decisions. This whole thing could fall apart and they end up keeping Tubby which would just be disaster.
Until it is officially announced, this administration making the decision scares me.

Maybe, but IMO, Penny was never going to give up coaching East and running and coaching a top EYBL team, Team Penny, to be an assistant to Tubby.

Every game they win makes their decision that much harder. If they even have a decision to make. We really don't know anything but a bunch of unsubstantiated rumors and comments by a couple of reporters.

Bowen doesn’t know jack about b-ball and would love an excuse to extend Tubby. Of course his goal to make sure his resume stays crystal clean for his next job.

The fact that President Rudd has a Missing Person APB out on him right now tells us all we need to know.

He said what most Presidents/Chancellors/ADs of Universities say. Evaluate at the end of the season. What more does he have to say. This administration has not done well with basketball. They could very easily screw this up

He may have president stuff to do, or he is reconsidering a hasty thought process.
