Memphis head coach and former NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway took a jab at his detractors on Monday, noting a touch of "jealousy" from opposing coaches throughout the NCAA.
“I’m getting used to this as a coach because it’s a little jealousy from a lot of these coaches around the country,” Hardaway said on Monday. “I do understand that because we are NBA players trying to come back, and we didn’t have any experience as college coaches. So we didn’t ‘Pay our dues.’ So the coaches and their so-called boys that are in the media, they’re going to always throw jabs at us.
