Tom Penders couldnt hack it in Conference USA. Would be very dissapointed if a Big East team brought him in.

What do you mean? They won the C-USA Tournament this year. He has taken four separate teams to the NCAAs.
"Penders has spent the majority of his career turning around struggling programs, including those at Tufts, Columbia, Fordham and Rhode Island. He took great pleasure in leading the once-proud Houston program back to the tournament for the first time in almost two decades."

Penders' teams have had serious off-the-court issues in the past, and this year's UH squad was built on transfers and juco talent. Tom Penders is Bobby Gonzalez with a better attitude and a bad ticker. |

Penders got canned by a university whose budget is in muddy waters and who still owes him $500k. That's all that needs to be said. The Conference USA title was a fluke. The team barely played .500 ball all year despite having the nation's leading scorer.

Well, if the Johnnies really have $3M/year to throw around, chances are they're aiming higher than Penders.
But I think he'd be a big improvement for the Hall or DePaul.
(Jay Thomas from Teen Wolf would be a step up for those two though, so I'm not sure that's saying much.)
