quote:

In an appearance Wednesday on ESPN’s “Get Up,” Memphis coach Penny Hardaway said Tennessee coach Rick Barnes was “mocking” his coaching staff after their recent game, and that other coaches are “threatened” by him because he became the Memphis head coach without any prior college coaching experience.
“I’ve always had a lot of respect for Coach Rick Barnes,” Hardaway told Jalen Rose and Mike Greenberg. “We had a situation here in Memphis with a rivalry game. You know it’s going to be heated…You know that what you get into that game it’s going to be hot tempers and a lot of competitiveness.“


quote:

“And after the game I didn’t feel like he gave my team a clear understanding of what we were trying to do. He was kind of mocking the NBA and our coaching staff and I really didn’t like that. I have the utmost respect for him but I couldn’t let him do by team like that.”


quote:

On “Get Up,” Hardaway also said other coaches were “threatened” by him when he was hired because he came straight from coaching high school and AAU ball to a high-major D-1 job.


No wonder Shaq couldn’t win shite with this guy in Orlando

He’ll end up being Leonard Hamilton Lite. Good recruiter but not able to win consistently with them.

He’s also tried to play up Calipari not adding Memphis to the schedule as him being “scared”. Like we don’t play UNC, Duke, Michigan State, Louisville, Kansas, etc. consistently in the OOC.

This Tennessee team is good enough to hurt a lot of peoples feelings this year.

But Rick Barnes is vanilla ice cream. If that dude has taken over your headspace, you've got deeper issues to deal with.

Vols are engaging in classic little bro behavior. Get a little success, and start posting about how bad the fans (UF) and coaches (Hardaway) of other programs behave towards the Vols. Quit the whining and just enjoy the asskickings your team is administering.

This kind of bs is why the series was cancelled for so long. It doesn't matter the coach or the sport, Memphis always brings drama with them. I get that he's trying to ignite an in-state rivalry but he's coming across as a complete tool.

I think UT and UK fans can both agree that Penny is awful.

Go frick yourself, Anfernee.

Edit: I’m lol’ing at Penny thinking coaches are mad because he made the jump from HS to being Memphis HC.

Penny is a strange case. I don't really get the beef with Barnes. I don't think anyone has ever had beef with Barnes.

Penny begging Kentucky for a head to head makes sense for Penny, he's trying to get his AAC team some exposure. At least I think they're AAC? I honestly don't even know. What I do know is theres absolutely nothing in it for Kentucky or Cal.

Doesn’t have much talent this year but the returns aren’t promising on him as a coach if you watch his team play. It is a horrendous brand of basketball.

No real reason for Tennessee to continue playing that series long term if we’re being honest.
