MEMPHIS — Another year and another potential shake up to Penny Hardaway’s coaching staff at Memphis as Nolan Smith could be one and done with the Tigers.

According to college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, Smith is in talks to take over the program at Tennessee State with the two sides working toward an agreement. Rothstein says Smith and TSU are finalizing a deal for a job that came open when former coach Brian ‘Penny’ Collins left Tennessee State to join Tuomas Iisalo’s staff with the Grizzlies.

Smith joined Hardaway’s staff a season ago after two years at Louisville, helping lead the Tigers to 29 wins and both the AAC regular season and tournament titles. He also played and coached under the legendary Mike Krzyzewski at Duke where, as a first team All-American, Smith helped the Blue Devils win the 2010 national title.
