One of his former players said this:

Quote:
Under [interim head coach] Russ Pennell, there has been more of a focus on the defensive end of the floor and rebounding the ball. I think we are more disciplined as a team and understand what each other's roles are. That's a really important key to the success of any basketball team.


Rebounding. Nice. We need that. =D>

Great hire! Nice article on Coach Pennell.

Why Was Russ Pennell Replaced By Dan Majerle at Grand Canyon?

Nice to have this done so recruiting can get going. Looks like a good hire.

Pennell's UCA stats:

1982-83 (16-14):

FG = 50%
FT = 75%
Rebs = 2.1 per game (all defensive)
A= 121
TO= 56
S=12
PPG=5.4

Played 29 of 30 games.

1983-84 (14-18):

FG = 54%
FT = 79%
Rebs= 2/game (90% defensive)
A= 220
TO = 92
S = 19
PPG = 9.5

Played 29 of 32 games.

Who averaged 4.3ppg on this team?
