Obviously that never transferred down to the son, who has to be at the top of the all time A**hole lists for coaches.

A few years ago, I think it was the 05-06 season, Penders' Houston team came to play Missouri State in Springfield during the NIT. That was the year that the Missouri Valley had four teams in the NCAA tournament, and Penders had made some comment earlier in the year about the Valley not being all that good. Needless to say, the welcome he received when he walked out of the tunnel was not cordial in the least bit. Thankfully Missouri State sent him packing with a loss. (I think he made some not-so-nice comments during the postgame press conference as well)
So yes, he is on the a-hole list for sure.
