NEW: Memphis AD Ed Scott said he hasn't talked to Penny Hardaway about a contract extension, because he wants him to concentrate on getting the program back on track.
He also said a bunch more about Penny/MBB during his @929espn interview earlier today. https://t.co/nJmE09pQ7e
“We’re going to look at the data. We’re going to make some informed decisions about where we’re seating people, what the donations look like,” Scott said in March.
This was an outright lie. They did nothing with seating and insulted ticket holders by dropping donations by $1.
NEW: Memphis is set to start summer workouts June 2.
Now that Penny Hardaway is done (or, mostly done, at least) with his roster/coaching staff, there's one big thing he's focused on this offseason.
“We’ve had some success. (But) I’m not done yet.”

Early Torvik projections for Memphis next season have the Tigers at No. 106. The Tigers finished at No. 129 last season.
Other teams in The American:
Wichita State - 61
South Florida - 87
Tulsa - 91
I find it insulting that @_EdScott lowered the required MAF donation by $1. That’s a slap in the face to those of us that have been season ticket holders longer than he has been alive. After averaging 3800 fans and an 8th place AAC finish last yr, I’d rather you RAISE them by $1.
I am assuming these people are what they appear to be, and if they are, they’ve got some fucking nerve having a team meeting in the parking lot of First Congo church.
At this point, it’s clear that Ed is trying to get out of MEM and on to a bigger job without having to make a tough decision. There’s no way in you can make this statement about our WBB program and then bring back a MBB coach who just finished 8th in the 10th best conf in CBB.
Dr. Ed Scott, when asked about what Memphis women’s basketball can be, says he believes they were second in the American in rev share money last year behind USF.
Says they need to be in the NCAA Tournament, or WNIT at minimum, yearly.
Fox News: "Kristi Noem is asking for privacy and prayers tonight. She is said to be devastated by reports alleging her husband has been leading a cross-dressing double life."
Memphis basketball's turnstile attendance dropped significantly in 2025-26, according to figures obtained by @memphisnews through an open records request.

@Isaac__NBA What you don’t realize or won’t acknowledge is that we want him to make us look like fools, too. I’d like nothing more than to admit that I was wrong this time next year, but I have 8 data points that tell me I won’t be.
Hey @_EdScott … since you’re committed to mediocre product on the floor, you need to be committed to mediocre ticket prices off the floor. Tell me why I should pay $1700 per seat to sit in the clublevel to watch this shit, when y’all gave away free tic to half the games last yr.
@munzly He saw the writing on the wall with this team early, so he started that “can’t get them to buy in and play with heart” bullshit to deflect from the fact that he built a bad roster. Blame displacement from start to finish.
Penny Hardaway on this season: "It was a failure, for sure. You can’t categorize it any other way. We didn’t do what we needed to do. We failed. But, again, you can come back from failure.
"Couldn’t get the guys to really believe in the buy-in every single game. We worked hard to put guys on position. But it was a failed season. Worst record. Losing streaks. It was not a fun year when you’re used to winning. It just was a weird, weird, weird year."
