Penders could always put an entertaining product on the court but he can't coach defense. UT got rid of him in a similar way to Texas Tech getting rid of Mike Leach - they nailed him for something they would have gladly excused if the coach hadn't rubbed some folks the wrong way. It could be he's wearing out his welcome in Houston too.
Anyway, congrats to him and the Cougars. I bet they last longer in the tournament than the Longhorns do.
