Penny Hardaway on G League prospect strategy: “It’s like tampering”

Memphis University coach and former NBA star is highly critical of the new trend in college basketball.

Former NBA star and Memphis University coach Penny Hardaway believes the NBA’s new use of the G League is detrimental to college basketball as they are actively recruiting prospects who have already committed to schools.

Hardaway, in an interview with Memphis Commercial Appeal’s Jason Munz, has said that “Taking guys out of their commitments  they’ve already signed and continuing to talk to their parents, it’s almost like tampering. I really don’t agree with that”. Hardaway was personally affected by this recent trend, as high school star guard Jalen Green had originally planned to sign with Memphis University.
