Zgoda talks to Penn's agent E-mail

Just got Tom Penn’s agent, Warren LeGarie, on the phone and here’s the essence of what he said:

He said the Wolves did offer the job and he said negotiations were progressing until the Trail Blazers made what he called a “full-court press” last night in an attempt to keep Penn, hired in 2007, in Portland with a promotion that will include a new title and a new, enhanced contract.

Asked if Glen Taylor’s wanting to keep Kevin McHale as coach was a determining factor, he said, “That was not an issue that had come up. It was never pushed down Tom’s throat. We had not gotten to that part in our discussions yet. We thought we were progressing but there were some issues going back and forth.”

He said  the decision inevitably was an emotional one for his client.

Hogwash. I think someone close to this situation saw this for what it was all along: a way for Penn to test his market value and negotiate his raise with Portland. What a smart dude.

Whatever we do, rushing this situation would be bad. I think we can rest easy it won't be Khan at this juncture.

I think the best solution right now is just to be patient and wait for the next best candidate. With all due respect to Tom Penn, I'd imagine there are plenty of other equal (or more) qualified than he. That list does not include David Kahn.
