I’m trying to decide if this would be a good thing or bad thing. Memphis could get a better Xs & Os guy, but all the players would bail, which would make for a real fuster cluck with trying to put together a roster for next season.

If the NCAA ever gets off the fence on the Memphis/Wiseman infraction, it would make a move to the NBA even more appealing to HCPH. When the seat gets warm, the street smart coaches either move to the pros or convince their university that they deserve a lifetime contract.

Sounds like Memphis is going to let Penny hire Larry Brown. Might be to keep Penny around. Memphis is going to have a really good run before the hammer comes down again.

They need someone who has experience with how best to pay players and navigate through NCAA issues.

Sales Pitch discussion -- How does Houston keep it rolling in the AAC, nationally? - ESPN

"...Kelvin Sampson has the Houston program rolling again. What do you view as Sampson's biggest challenge in constructing more nationally relevant Cougars rosters in the coming years?
Lunardi: Sampson is the best thing to happen to the AAC since UConn won its "rollover" national championship in 2014, the league's first season. A Sweet 16 appearance, much less a Final Four berth, is something for the American to truly celebrate. Sampson has delivered one of each in the last two NCAA tournaments....

Medcalf: I think the Final Four run introduced the world to what college basketball fans had known in recent years: Sampson is one of the game's top coaches and his program is legit. I think true national relevance will always be difficult to achieve outside the Power 5 leagues. Villanova has two championships since 2016 and it's definitely a major brand in the game, but you could make the case that Jay Wright's squad still hasn't received the full attention it deserves. But I think consistency is always the most important factor to relevance....

Borzello: I think Houston is pretty nationally relevant as is, and the Cougars have consistently rebuilt and reloaded over the last few years to remain that way. If Jordan Poole hadn't made the desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer to beat Houston in the second round back in 2018, we would be talking about a program that had been to three straight Sweet 16s. Moreover, this will be the third straight season that Sampson has had to replace four starters. So he's not exactly walking into an unprecedented situation....

Gasaway: Houston's biggest challenge could be sustaining the momentum from the appearance in the 2021 Final Four. The Cougars lost both their featured scorer and their signature defender in Grimes and DeJon Jarreau, respectively. We know Houston will defend and crash the offensive glass in the coming season, of course, but even within the Sampson era last year's 28-4 team was something special, statistically speaking...."

That’s desperate. Did the Magic really have that good of a shot?

LOL Larry Brown has to be older than 80 years old. That's older than Biden. Kids don't even know who he is. What role will Brown serve?
