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.

actually, I give Cheney credit for admitting it. The rest of these hotshot college coaches WON'T, but they do the same thing all the time.

So it's worse than Woody you say. That is exactly the reason they won't let him go out on a note like this in the A-10 assuming it doesnt happen again.

Being an Ohio State fan, I dont think this is worse than what Woody did, mainly because hard fouling is sometimes prevalent in rivalry games. Woody actually hit a player, a line that even Cheney won't cross.
