Temple/Chaney ping!
He's such a tool. I smell a lawsuit.
PING
Did something happen in the last five years that's made Chaney snap?
They have a poll posted on the site -- vote if you have an opinion.
I think he shoud be fired!
He's a black democrat, so he won't be fired.
If Bobby Knight would have done this the liberal sports writers would be all over him. It would be 24 hours non-stop of the history of Bob Knight abuses.
He's black.
He's untouchable.
He can do just about anything he wants and suffer no repercussions from it.
Hell of a commentary on Big-time NCAA sports and the leaders of this Collegiate undertaking. It is almost time to start reforming these esteemed Institutions from outside-in.
BTW, I got some original art-work from Ebay, some crazy horse prints...man o man.
"He's black."

Flame away......
I agree with the sentiment of the article. Chaney has gotten a free ride for far too long. I'd suspend him for a year -- without pay -- and put him on notice that the next time he pulls a stunt that brings dishonor on the University he will be fired. My guess is that Chaney would quit in a huff. THAT would be even better than a firing, IMHO.
You guys know what, after seeing the replay again this morning (I was mostly awake for it this time) and the report of the kid's arm being broken, I admit I was on the extreme low end of what the punishment should be.
Not only that, but the pure insult to the kid that he called a goon. Great comment there coach, what a moron!!
At the very very least, the suspension (should you go that way) should be the rest of the year to include any postseason and any time deemed necessary for next season. I too think he should be canned for this incident.
the A-10 commish is a wimp so I dont think any of that will happen though....
If he were a hockey coach, no one would be breathing a word of criticism.
What league is Temple in?
Isn't this a league commissioner's decision?
The incident was not racial. A basketball coach (black) sent out a "goon" hit-man (black) with a resulting victim (black).
However, the 'racial' overtone, could be from the Temple President (white), the A-10 Commissioner (white) unwilling to act with the proper action against the perpetrator of this incident.
Linda Bruno - Atlantic 10 Commissioner
David Adamany - Temple University President
John Chaney - Temple Basketball Coach
John Bryant - St. Joseph's Basketball Player
My reason in stating "He's black" was racial...but not for the reason you gave.
I believe that there's a reluctance to fire high-profile blacks (such as Chaney) because of the resulting noise from the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons who'll scream "racism" at the drop of a hat.
At the minimum, Chaney should have been roundly punished for his death threat against John Calipari.
But this episode goes way too far. If Woody Hayes had to step down at Ohio State for going after a football player, then Chaney should be forced out with this more serious episode.
His suspension of himself is a total farce. If he has the power to suspend himself, why doesn't he just forgive himself? What a joke! Hit the road, Chaney. Temple will survive without you.
Go 'Nova!
Not always...The Orlando Magic canned Doc Rivers. Of course they lost a lot, even with T-Mac when they had him.
Ohio State sh*tcanned Randy Ayers for recruiting the fugitives from the chain gang and creating the resulting legal problems that destroyed their program for a few years.
Of course the Pittsburgh Pirates NEED to fire Lloyd McClendon, but because he sucks as a manager, not because of his color. I could get better production out of their talented young players than he has.....
Chaney should be long gone.
But he was held up as a role model in the past, so, most likely, nothing will be done.
