Coach Penny Hardaway: “I definitely feel like there’s a target on my back. There’s a lot of people who don’t want me to succeed because it’s going to look like an NBA guy came back with no experience and won.” (Jim Weber/Daily Memphian)
Penny Hardaway says other coaches are jealous of his accomplishments since he didn’t come up through the college-coaching ranks before having success in his inaugural season at Memphis.
