Yep. And he will get tons of minutes with everyone else hitting the transfer portal. Even NIL money won’t bring them back.

Have you finally seen the light?

To what light are you referring?

That Penny can't coach......

I do think he has serious management and leadership issues. He also doesn't truly believe in any concepts or players...If you believed in what you were doing or the guys playing for you, you would stick with them.

I say the above issues completely undermine his ability to be consistently successful...I don't think the concepts he is trying to employ are totally bad though.

Man I was afraid of that.

Wow, who could've seen this coming. It's mind-boggling. I don't think I've ever seen a coach totally call out his team over and over again, sound so frustrated and angry, and look like he might have a mutiny on his hands. I would bet we see a rush of transfers sooner than later, and maybe that's a good thing at this point. The minutes and rotations just don't seem to make much sense, and despite what Penny has said, he doesn't seem to be instituting changes. Or if/when he does, he reverts to what he had been doing. He's obviously either losing the locker room or already lost it.

His comment about believing the Tigers would be undefeated if he played a certain five guys is crazy. If you truly believe that, DO IT!! Not following his heart on who gives you the best chance to win tells me he's trying to cater to feelings of others (which he also admitted). That will only get you beat and no one will be happy.

The players do have accountability, as well. Their job is to play at the highest level when called upon. It's hard to believe what Penny is saying about the veterans not being willing to help the young guys, but that's a shame if it's true to any degree.

That’s completely asinine

Seriously? That's some of the dumbest BS I've ever heard of. And didn't he just say recently he needed to shorten his bench and cut out all the crazy subbing? That lasted all of one game. Incidentally, in that game we committed 11 turnovers I think. Whatever the exact number was it was far fewer than we usually give up. He did it for one game and then went right back to the AAU crap.

It's beyond asinine.

Seriously, I could see Nolley, Quinones, Camden, Minott and maybe even Bates hitting the road.

I could see Nolly and LQ doing it as an EFF U for being cast aside and thrown under the bus multiple times. Camden, Minott and Bates may be looking for a coach who runs a real system and one where they don't have to compete with coach's pets who are largely ineffective.

Or I could not know jackshit and they all come back after ending this season on a high note. I have a feeling that's far less likely.

Given that the young guys are all future NBA players where's the motivation to step aside and be a mentor to someone who is already likely making bank off NIL while I have been relegated to a secondary role?

Anyone who didn't see the potential pitfalls of trying to cater to every superstar ego on the team just didn't go into it with eyes wide open.

I sometimes wonder if Penny isn't more concerned with his image as that of a star maker than the success of the school and the team as a whole in terms of winning.

It’s fairly simple.

Timberlake

These 7 need to be your leaders in minutes.

Let the starters play for more than 3 minutes before you sub (unless fouls, injury, etc.).

As for your backup PG and big, roll with Harris and Lawson.

The end.

Though this makes sense there is a zero percent chance Penny does this as that would mean his posse rides the pine.

No way does he sit Alo, Jayden or Dandridge.. as Penny cannot wait 5 minutes to put them into the game.

Penny's posse played 61 of the 200 minutes yesterday, and that's why we lost, but Penny is blind.

and to think that Davion Warren de-commited from Memphis back on April after Tyler Harris announced he would be returning to Memphis.. We lost a nice combo guard who could defend and score.. He is doing well at Texas Tech averaging 12 pts so far this season.

I don’t disagree about the Memphis kids, but they aren’t getting a boatload of minutes outside of A Lo. If Alex could get the TOs down, he’d be a serviceable PG. We’ll see if it lasts, but he’s been hitting shots (47% and 40% from 3).

He is a senior, he isn't all of a sudden going to get his TOs down. It is who he is. One good play, 3 really bad plays, nothing is going to some how change. Also, his shooting percentages, while good, are not what they seem. He takes wide open shots, which is what you want, but if any other player on the team (outside of Dandridge) was getting wide open looks at 3 the same way ALo does, they would be hitting 70+% from 3. If ALo became some kind of scoring threat, teams would start playing him and that percentage would nose dive.

Is there a recommendation here? I didn’t say A Lo was a great player. Maybe he should have less minutes, but somebody has to play. Timberlake doesn’t look like a PG to me, but maybe he’ll prove me wrong. I’m unsure about Harris. He is a defensive liability, but the offense does seem to flow more naturally when he’s in.

It’s year 4. Alo is what he is at this point. He will play a good half or two every 3 or 4 games then revert back to throwing the ball away. Same with Dandridge.

He takes wide open shots, WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT


so why would you say

Don't be ridiculous

as if I said the exact opposite.

But apparently you have convinced yourself that ALo is a pure scorer and can make those 3's at will. Which is completely insanely ridiculous.

You said other players would shoot 70% from 3 if they got wide open looks. We can rip A Lo about a lot of things, but minimizing 40% shooting from 3 is illogical. There’s a decent chance he won’t keep that up over the course of the season, but he has shot the ball well as of late. No reason to rip on his shooting. Move on to Bates who takes terrible shots and was 1-10 the last game.

The constant hysterical crapping on Lomax is beyond idiotic. Alo IS the same every year. He starts slow and finishes fast. He is actually starting to play better earlier this year.

In our 3 losses he is averaging 10 points, shooting 71% from the field, 3-3 from outside and 67% from the line. Him and Williams are the only ones playing well right now.
