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!
You were working on a truly great post until the last line. Then you blew it. I would add that the "incident" took place over 4 basketball minutes (perhaps 10 real minutes), involved several elbows, hip checks, shoves in the back and other miscellaneous hard fouls, and a million opportunities for Chaney to stop the madness. It was also premediatated (as Chaney threatened the goon action the day before), and he was remorseless in the post game interview. Lastly, I believe the lack of punishment has less to do with race (as some others suggested) and more to do with Linda Bruno being out of her league.
