Alum Dana Jacobson piece on Juwan, Hardaway, and Ewing coaching at alma maters
Nice interview and story about Juwan’s return to Michigan.

We're so blessed to have him
If only you saw the threads when he was rumored to be Warde's leader with Shaka Smart #2 and Lavall Jordan's buyout too big at Butler.
But your comment couldn't be more accurate.

I saw this post's title and thought, "Tim Hardaway is coaching at UTEP. I had no idea."

C'mon. I can't believe you got a +.
Penny Hardaway been at Memphis for 3 years now. Absolutely no excuse to not know this if you follow ANY college basketball.
I'm good with a joke -- and enjoy many on this site -- but Anfernee deserves better. Especially since he was traded for CWebb on day 1 of the draft.

How far is that stick up your ass? I thought the same thing as them.
I'm aware that Penny Hardaway is at Memphis. When I saw the name "Hardaway", on a Michigan blog mind you, I immediately thought of Tim Hardaway. I'm sure I'm not the only one considering a) Tim Hardaway's son played at Michigan and b) Tim Hardaway was a damn good player in his own right.
My first thought was actually about tim hardaway jr coaching....then his dad...never even crossed my mind it was about penny.
This is one of those "yikes", posts.

Tim Hardaway Jr played at Michigan, so when I see the name Hardaway, that's who I think of first. And my first thought was that I didn't know his dad was coaching. Took me a minute to realize who they meant. But thanks for letting us all know we're morons for that.

Those two shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as Juwan. Ewing's been a disaster and Penny nothing special.

To be fair, neither inherited what Howard did. Howard has done a great job, but 80% of the present roster isn't his. And a couple have been to a final four before.
In the long run, I think your comment will be right. All 3 deserve a little more time to prove it out.

Penny already had AAU connections and signed a couple of 5 stars but really hasn’t done anything with the talent he’s brought in. Ewing, had a subpar majority of the season but turned it on at the end and made something of it.
80%? Please show your work.
At least half of the roster (and 40% of the starters) are Howard’s
Clearly Howard’s players
Dickinson ***
Smith ***
Brown **
Williams *
Jackson
Howard
Clearly Beilein’s players
Brooks ***
Livers ***
Johns **
Davis **
Nunez
Players they both deserve credit for
Wagner ***
Howard also deserves at least some of the credit for the growth in Beilein’s players (particularly Davis, but probably for other players like Johns.

Penny was really good before he hurt his knee.
Nice piece.
While Ewing and Hardaway haven't yet had the same success, they are similar to Howard in that they were all top 5 picks who didn't need to work again, if they chose not too.
These guys love the game and love their schools....

Couldn't agree more!
Dana has blossomed into a very handsome lady.
