A legend at Temple University.
I loved the way his teams not only challenged every shot but challenged every pass.
John Chaney was 89.

Remember when Chaney wanted to fight Calipari at a postgame press conference.
"I'll kill you" was the exact quote.
Temple v UMass was a fabulous rivalry game.
I think a lot of college basketball coaches wanted Chaney to get his hands on Calipari that night.

Sad he never got a team to the Final Four. That team in 88 was awesome, only loss until the tournament was by a point to UNLV at the T&M. I went to that game, what a great atmosphere and great finish both teams in the top 10. I think the score was 57-56 which just seemed hard to believe for the Runnin Rebels but Temple played defense like nothing else.

Snowflake Dumb Dude obviously feels threatened by the BLM movement. Lol And the pos also supported Trump.
Cesar Seyock. Sent bombs to 20 prominent democrats. Domestic Terrorists group plotted to kidnapp and kill Gov. Whitner and others. Domestic terrorist shoots up Pittsburgh Synagogue killing 11 American's. Trump's domestic terrorists storm the Capitol killing a cop and 4 others. Domestic terrorist drives 6 hours through Texas to kill 20 at El Paso Walmart. They all had something in common besides being domestic terrorist. They were all Republicon Trump supporting pieces of shit, that were all inspired by Adolph Trump to commit their killings and other crimes during the failed Trump presidency.

Does anyone know the story why Chaney wanted to kill Calipari? What set him off?

I watched a lot of Temple games with Mark Macon during that time. Macon was Mr Basketball in Michigan, it was a big deal that he went to Temple over the in-state schools.
There is a ESPN documentary Black Magic about the historically black colleges and basketball during the civil rights era. Cheney has a segment in this while he played at Cheney St. really good if you want to see what those guys had to go thru.
As I understand it, Calipari was at the podium after a one-point victory over Temple and Chaney was in the back of the room listening to Calipari's postgame comments.
After the narrow win, Calipari mentioned the three refs and their poor performances that night.
If memory serves, the two teams had contrasting styles: UMass wanted to get up and down, Temple was all about grabbing and holding on the defensive end.
The game finished in the 50's, a Temple kind-of-game.
Once Chaney heard Calipari criticize the officials AFTER A WIN, he exploded.
Too funny.
Not much has changed for John Calipari after his battles with Chaney.
Calipari tells his Kentucky recruits/players, "Our goal at UK is NOT to win a national championship but to get you to the NBA."
Different strokes for different folks.

That's a SCAM Recruiting Pitch.
Calipari is Telling Them, That's is All About THEM.
But With Calipari , It's All About HIM !

Not only are you a known lunatic, you're a national security threat.

The 5:00 a.m. practices were legendary.
I assume that cost Chaney some high-level recruits through the years.
