I still dont think he should be fired.

When I posted that, I was as yet unaware that it was only for the rest of the regular season. He should be suspended for any tournaments too IMO.

If I were the league, I would ask him to retire. They want to avoid another Woody Hayes type issue and they certainly dont want their marquee coach to go out like that....

I think this was far worse than Woody Hayes. At least Woody acted spontaneously. If you look at Cheney's comments before the game even started, this was clearly premeditated.

If I'm a coach with a game against Temple scheduled, I would suit up a walkon linebacker or defensive end who would enter the game if Cheney's goon came on the floor. That thug has no business on the floor; if Temple or the A-10 won't suspend him, then as an opposing coach I have to protect my players. If Temple wants Goon Basketball then their opponents should oblige them.

First goon hockey, now goon bashetball. That's Philly for you.
