Faragi Phillips officially joins tigers coaching staff

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - It’s a done deal. Faragi Phillips is officially a member of Penny Hardaway’s staff with the Memphis Tigers.

Phillips comes home after spending two seasons on Jerry Stackhouse’s staff at Vanderbilt. He was a revered high school coach in the Bluff City, spending eight previous years, first at Mitchell, where he won back-to-back state titles in 2014-15, then at Whitehaven, where he finished as state runner-up to Hardaway’s East High School squad.

Phillips also coached on the AAU Circuit with Team Thad and Bluff City Legends, formerly Team Penny, so he knows the Memphis area well for recruiting.
