good luck Tom

And, I’m told, Larry Brown has no interest in being a “consultant” at Memphis. He wants to be a full-time assistant. So this will ultimately come down to who gets what they want — Memphis AD Tom Bowen or Memphis coach Penny Hardaway.
@JohnMartin929
According to @JasonSmith929, Memphis AD Tom Bowen has greenlit Larry Brown as a consultant for Penny Hardaway -- but not as an assistant coach.

Larry Brown will cheat over the head of Penny who looks up to him as an assistant?

I think we might need to change our AD's name from Tom Bowen to Tom "Petty".

I doubt it, but we don't know if Penny himself will or won't cheat. I do know that as a non P5 we will have 10X the scrutiny and if we do anything we will be punished 100X more than a P5 school. It is definitely a high risk hire. Also, maybe Bowen has access to information that many of us here don't have.
The admin obviously cares about reputation based on hiring Tubby. It's a shame that it is being forced to make another decision again, this time on a coach that goes completely against what they are trying to accomplish reputation wise.

RE: Source: Bowen ok Larry Brown as consultant not so much as Assistant
And Bowen creates a rift between he and his brand new coach that was hired a month ago that has given the basketball program more hope than it has had since 2014. I realize he has concerns over Brown's past, but Penny shouldn't have to get Rudd involved every time he needs to make a decision that Bowen doesn't like. The longer he's here, the more we hear of how difficult Tom can be when he doesn't get his way. No way this should've ever gotten out of Bowen's office. Let the coach do his job and hire who he wants, Penny is ultimately responsible for his assistant's actions. Do you think anyone would blink an eye if Cal wanted to hire Brown at Kentucky?

They said Larry’s lawyer and SMU administration has reached out to Bowen about Larry and Tom hasn’t reached back to them. What?

You are capable of much more than this post which could come from a NCAA manual. What difference does it make? If Brown doesn’t recruit, that takes cheating out of the equation. Besides, it’s creating a very bad look for Bowen in a skirmish he can’t win no matter what he does now. Just shows the caliber of AD we have in place. Can’t control his ego.
