Penny Hardaway says on @MartySmithESPN’s podcast that he moved the compliance staff to the practice facility so “that if I had any questions, I could go right to them.”

@JohnMartin929
Penny: “We met with Nike at the Final Four, and they’re gonna do all they can and more to support the University of Memphis, now that I’m here.”

@JohnMartin929
Penny: “Making the NCAA Tournament, winning our conference — that’s what I’m expecting to do in my first year. I don’t waver from that. That’s the type of energy we have in our city. We believe.”

You have to love that he is not running from expectations but instead setting them high!

I thought we needed to lower our expectations? That's what Tubby said...

The last 2 coaches have told us it takes years to have success. I like this way better.

And that he was not responsible for filling the seats.

The last two coaches did not have the charisma of Penny Hardaway.

Penny Hardaway says there’s been more interest from “movie guys” since he became the head coach at the University of Memphis.

Plus he pointed out that the landscape has changed for a school like Memphis, don't expect getting the top recruits like 10 yrs ago. Guess Penny not buying it.

Nick Nolte?

Based on what I’ve seen so far, I’m a believer. I’m rooting for Penny. I hope he turns out to be a good coach!

HOF bound!

Penny does not shy away from expectations and given the results the past few weeks I am inclined to give it credence.

It is also wise for Penny to recognize that the NCAA will be looking for any excuse to impede our program. At least his prudent precautions will force them to make up violations.

Same here. I was ambivalent about his hiring but so far the guy has been incredible.

Shadyac? Brewer?

I don't know. I thought that was an odd comment. I guess it is odd because I'm not sure what he was referring to.

Oh, CJP had charisma. He just didn't have much else to back it up.
