This. Penny gets us. We're a smart basketball fan base and can be adults about stuff. You don't have to BS us. If something didn't go right just say it, we all can see it with our own two eyes. If something good is happening it's ok to talk about that too.

You are so right about this. Coach speaks sometimes treated fans like they are dumb. Memphis is a different culture. People from the neighborhood can game plan a HS game. I appreciate Penny calling it like he sees it and sharing even if we as fans feel different.

I'm just afraid it's a matter of time before this changes. Someone in the media will take advantage one too many times, and Penny may tighten the circle. I hope not. I enjoy the access.

Someone needs to tell Jason and John to drop Penny's twitter handle on the air just like they did for bigticketmom - Wiseman's momma. Penny only has about 85k followers. Miller has about 500k followers. C'mon man!!!!

That was always a bs argument from the start. Clearly he works extremely hard and wants to win, he’s as competitive as one could possibly be.

C'mon Joe...Enough with the 03-nutkick 03-nutkick 03-wink

At least let him bring Josh up.

Depends on how thick Pennys skin is...

When he has a bad stretch there will be people who turn on him. It is up to him to not hold a grudge and keep using the media to his advantage.

Agree.

That was one of my reservations.

Penny has been out of NBA for ages and his Twitter account has not been active.

Mark G said Penny is the only head coach that attended every bluff city game this weekend.
