Are they saying this happened while Penny was coaching him in AAU or this happened after Penny got the HC gig at Memphis?

I need dates and times for this. I know Wiseman and Penny are close. I know he coached him in AAU and it wasn't a huge surprise he chose Memphis once Penny got the gig but if this move happened before all of this i don't see the problem. I get the implication but to me it's not that far from "family member of 5-star recruit gets hired to prospective school's coaching staff". Now if Memphis Tigers head coach Penny Hardaway helped Wiseman move after he signed on the dotted line I understand. But, if big homie Penny Hardaway helped the fam move and ended up with the HC gig at Memphis later on I would deem that as a different situation.

Penny probably meant well in financing the family's move (assuming that report is true), but... it seems naïve of him to not realize what was going to happen, and now the kid is caught in a tough situation. Hopefully there's some extenuating circumstance, but it looks bad for Penny, imo.

Reports are that Penny giving the money was cleared by the NCAA back in May. Considering it was before he even sniffed the Memphis gig there shouldn't be a problem. I won't say I don't get the implications and how it can be seen a different way but black and white it was before either Penny or Wiseman signed with Memphis and the NCAA said it was ok 6 months ago. Let the kid play.
