In the Big 12 he may get more time with more big men to battle. I haven't heard any negativity from Boogie's camp, but I know Moussa and DJ camp were not pro Penny. DJ hated playing the 4. But if you wanna be real, our struggles early in the year were tied directly to Penny trust in DJ as the best player on our team. Remember all the plays Penny ran for DJ to score during the tournament in South Dakota and verses Auburn and DJ couldn't produce. Maybe DJ wasn't comfortable and their communication was off and that affected DJ's play. I can't see where he can fault Penny for his play.
All 3 of those guys got YUGE opportunity at Memphis. Penny went above and beyond to give them starts and minutes. They might complain about playing out of position (DJ), or having a backup take minutes (Boogie), or not being in late in games (Cisse) - but that's basketball trying to win games. Good luck finding a coach that wouldn't do those same things. I know it's human nature to blame the coach, but the complaints are shallow and simply won't stick.
