Houston coach's collapse leads to technical foul
BIRMINGHAM — Houston coach Tom
Penders collapsed on the sideline late in the first half of the Cougars'
82-79 loss to UAB on Saturday night.
Penders, 60, was carried off
the floor on a stretcher and given oxygen, but he returned to coach in the
second half. He later attributed his fall to a heart condition and said he
felt fine after taking the oxygen.
Penders fell to his knees as
UAB's Wen Mukubu drove to the basket and drew a foul with 52 seconds left in
the half and UAB leading 46-44. Officials called a technical foul on Penders,
apparently thinking he was reacting to the foul call. But the game stopped
and the crowd hushed when Penders didn't get up.
Assistant coach Melvin
Haralson directed the Houston team in Penders' absence. Penders returned to
the sideline at the beginning of the second half and led the Cougars the
rest of the way.
"I have a heart condition and
I've had several episodes where I stand up too fast and get light headed. I
did a three-mile fast walk this morning and probably didn't get enough
fluids before the game," Penders said.
The coach said he had no idea
until later that he was called for a technical foul.
"I don't remember anything to
be upset about. To get called for a technical foul for collapsing to the
floor is extremely poor judgment on the officials part," he said.
Penders is in his second
season at Houston and previously coached at George Washington, Texas and
Rhode Island.
