Penny Hardaway is staying in Memphis and he's adding another basketball legend to his coaching staff.
According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Hardaway is hiring Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown as an assistant coach for the Tigers. The 80-year-old coach is expected to be formally announced soon.
As noted by The Commercial Appeal, this marks the second time in Brown's coaching career that he will serve as an assistant. The first opportunity came in the 1960s when he spent two seasons at North Carolina under the legendary Dean Smith.
