Penders Stays at Texas After Succinct Show of Support
Dallas Morning News sports columnist Frank Luksa argues Tom Penders earned another Texas season after Rutgers interest waned. Penders, 194-93 at Texas, produced eight NCAA bids, seven 20-win seasons, and recruited top talent like Chris Mihm. He shaped Texas from a basketball joke into a top-20 program, deserving continued support despite criticism.
