Things have never ended well for Penders wherever he's been previously. A few strange things have been happening around the UofH basketball program - one being the treatment of the associate head coach by Penders.
Houston Cougars associate head coach Melvin Haralson was not on the bench for Tuesday night's game at Western Kentucky.
Haralson did not make the trip with the team.
Haralson's absence did not go unnoticed. Is he suspended?
Members of the UH athletic department are being close-lipped about why Haralson, who is in his 10th season at UH, wasn't with the team.
Stack those facts on top of each other, and people tend to assume the worst. Haralson is the Cougars Tracy McGrady - on the payroll but not on the bench.
