Penny Hardaway Overhauls Memphis Basketball Coaching Staff

Four coaches dismissed as Hardaway aims to revitalize program ahead of new season.

  • Assistant coaches Rick Stansbury, Faragi Phillips, and Jamie Rosser, along with advisor Demetrius Dyson, were fired.
  • The decision comes just two months before the season opener against Missouri.
  • This marks a significant shake-up in a busy offseason, with Memphis bringing in eight new Division-I transfers.
  • New athletic director Ed Scott and senior deputy AD Tim Duncan recently took office, potentially influencing these changes.
  • Hardaway faces increased pressure after a disappointing end to last season and previous off-court issues.
