According to a report from Dan Wolken, new Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway may try to add Kentucky assistant Tony Barbee to his coaching staff.
Hardaway was officially announced as Tubby Smith’s replacement on Monday.
I’m told Memphis is targeting Tuesday for the Penny Hardaway festivities. Sounds like things are pretty far along on staff. Two former Memphis/Calipari assistants in Steve Roccaforte and Tony Barbee are staff candidates, per source

And another report:
Hearing more and more that Tony Barbee is a real possibility for Penny’s staff. Not a fan at all. First, you have to ask yourself.. “Why would he leave Kentucky?” pic.twitter.com/LorILS0nIy
