On the same night that Penny Hardaway announced he will be remaining at Memphis as the men's head basketball coach despite interest from the NBA, he reportedly added a Hall of Fame assistant.

According to Shams Charania and Jeff Goodman of The Athletic, Hardaway has hired Larry Brown to join his staff.

“I couldn’t step away from what I started," Hardaway told Goodman on Tuesday night. "One day it would be a dream to coach in the NBA, and the Orlando Magic, but we still have unfinished business at Memphis.”
