Here is the follow up to the previous Memphis Meltdown video from Tigers Coach Hardaway. Thought it may be of interest for those following the other thread.

"'Memphis AD, Memphis President, and FedEx CEO Fred Smith forced Penny Hardaway to apologize' is more accurate...."

He apologized to Memphis University, the players, their fans and supporters, but NOT to the reporters he was cursing at.
(sort of akin to cussing out your kid in public and apologizing to your wife and your dog and your neighbors)

From UTSports.com:
UT's HISTORY VS. PENNY

• During his two-year collegiate career at Memphis (then Memphis State), Penny Hardaway averaged 20.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.

• He starred for the Tigers during the 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons. Memphis State faced Tennessee in each of those years, with the coach Wade Houston's Volunteers defeating Penny's Tigers both times.

• On Dec. 14, 1991, Tennessee edged the Tigers, 65-64, at the Great American Pyramid. Allan Houston scored 16 of his game-high 24 points in the second half and sank two free throws with two seconds left to lift UT to victory. Hardaway finished with 21 point and 10 boards.

• On Dec. 6, 1992, Tennessee upset eighth-ranked Memphis State, 70-59, at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville. Allan Houston again led the Vols with 20 points and became UT's second all-time leading scorer during the victory (he became No. 1 during the next game, vs. Syracuse). Hardaway led the way for the Tigers with 15 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists.

• On Dec. 15, 2018, with Hardaway in his first season as the Tigers' head coach, Tennessee traveled to Memphis and posted a 102-92 victory at FedEx Forum.

This is one of the best cases of "we knew what he was when he started, and that's exactly who he turned out to be" that I've ever seen. Penny's a big name, but that's it. He's childish, he's petulant, and I'll be shocked if he turns it around.
