That being said, I do not think Penny is an effective leader, but that does not mean I don’t like him. He’s just in a role that does not fit him. The same can be said for Josh Pastner.

First, you posted immediately after I asked someone if they had inside knowledge. You did not quote any post when you responded. Context, but to the point, you have often been highly critical of the coach. Nonetheless, I believe time will prove you wrong, again.

Again wrong. I posted after Snowtiger mentioned Toppert moving to LSU, & I questioned Penny’s leadership. I have been critical of Penny, and I do question his ability to lead this program; & I think the stream of transfers is a result of this deficiency. That being said, I believe he is truly invested for the right reasons & is genuinely a good guy… hes just in the wrong role. At this point, though, it looks like we’re riding with him & I hope he develops into a better HC.

I believe you are confused about what I'm referencing. Its on the previous page. I ask about inside knowledge and then you posted immediately after. You did not reference any other posts, hence the context I mention.

At least we agree that Penny is genuinely a good guy. I disagree regarding the other aspects of your opinion. He's very green as far as collegiate coaching experience goes, but he's won the NIT outright and darn near knocked out the top seed in the NCAA tournament this year. If this isn't a clear sign of an upward trajectory and growth as a coach and leader, nothing will convince the doubters.

Name one coach who has accomplished this with four total years of coaching experience. I bet you can't. Enough said.

Okay, then Penny is in excellent company, but you're completely wrong. He's been an assistant since 2012. That's a lot more than four years of coaching experience at the collegiate level.
