He was in high school dating a college grad student.  Stayed with her through college, she convinced him to cut ties with his family, allegedly tried to make him a Mormon, and now he plays for the Jazz.  Family claiming she groomed him.

Lucky bastard.

What did Duke do to piss him off?

Point is the family is fucking crazy and probably pissed that Kyle won't be sharing his suitcases full of cash with them.  I guess Duke was supposed to kick him out or force a breakup or something.

Penny seems to have a little Memphis thug in him.

Rumor is Stansbury is leaving as well.

Shit show

The offseason has been rife with other turnover at Memphis in addition to what was announced Wednesday. The Commercial-Appeal reported that five other staff members have departed since the end of the 2023–24 season, and the team has just one returning scholarship player.

Penny is an icon in Memphis but I don't see how he doesn't lose his job over the situation he's put them in.  It is a complete shitshow and last year was a disappointment not even making the NCAAT.  He hasn't made it past the 1st weekend of the NCAAT any year he has been at UM.  If they hadn't lost to FAU in the 1st round in 2023 they could have made a deeper run with the #1 seed (Purdue) losing in the 1st round.

Sounds like a punch line to me.

Wasn't he stopped for DWI in the last year or so?

I believe so, which is why the joke would work.

Not gonna lie this is pretty cool.  They'll do anything to keep their fanbase interested after losing the coach and roster.

Very cool. 
It will give them something to bitch about when a player has a knee foot or ankle injury.

Tony Bennett retiring at Virginia. Odd timing unless it is some health or family issue.
