And why not? Mick Cronin probably walked out of there with his head hanging low. After all, Penny is tall and played in the NBA but Cronin is short and never played in the NBA. Cronin is probably also jealous that Penny has such extensive experience as an assistant to a real high school coach.
Ok, enough jokes. I really liked Penny as a player. He always seemed a nice guy, and he was am excellent player in his prime. Why does he have to be a jerk and so foolish? Is he that insecure that he feels he needs to draw attention to himself even with negative stories? Why not just turn on the charm instead? I've always been told, you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.
