Did a couple of "not-so-smart" things, but overall I think the good outweigh the bad. On a personal note, while working at the student radio station at PSU in the late 80's I went to the Atlantic 10 basketball media day and had a chance to interview him one-on-one. I was a little intimidated but he turned out to be a very nice person, answered all my questions and wished me luck in my career. I wish him well in retirement.
I do not like him at all. I think there are alot of bad things that can be said about him, but, I will always have respect for him. He was overall very good for college basketball. Making his kids practice at 6am, never had kids in trouble, ran a honest clean program. He should be remembered as a good coach. Although, I will always remember him for telling Calipari that he was gonna kick his ass, one of the best highlights I have ever seen.
I like it when Bill goes to the Temple football games and he is sitting in the stands and it is cold and damp out and Temple loses by 40.TANG said:
Did'nt a hoops player named Mark Macon come from there? Or can you name a notable Temple player?
As far as Chaney goes, he always had these real abusive practices on campus. Everytime a player did something wrong it was always "I'm going to get the belt." and the players would all become a deafening silence often met by the horrfic lashing sounds Cheaney would dish out to the kid who didnt box out on a rebound.
