Scoonie Penn is moving on.
After spending the past two years as Ohio State's director of recruiting and player development, Penn has left the men's basketball program to become an assistant coach for the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA.
Penn will join Niele Ivey, Brad Jones, David McClure, Vitaly Potapenko and Neven Spahija as assistant coaches on head coach Taylor Jenkins' staff in Memphis.
Chris Holtmann brought Penn onto his staff on July 11, 2017, just a little over a month after he became the team's head coach. At the time, Holtmann referenced Penn's status as a former Ohio State player and connectivity with other Buckeyes as something he "was looking for in this position.
