RIP John Chaney. He was a legend.

When ESPN was watchable

[@catamountmpls]

Truth... now it sounds like a Real Housewives show

Back when Tirico wasn't insufferable.

[@kenkie6671]

I was at that UMass game, and it was the best game I ever saw in person. Still love Coach Cal, R.I.P. John Cheney.

[@cliftongreene5318]

Thank you John Chaney for taking the Owls to the Great Eight!!!

[@paravecchiavince9685]

The A10 back then was great

[@ryanmartin73]

It was man. It really was. You had Joes, Xavier, Umass, Temple, and even Rhode Island battling back to back.

[@msantos1116]

A few years after this Lamar Odom was a beast at URI. I still remember the "SAT" chants at the Mullins Center when they came to play.

[@kenkie6671]

Personally, I preferred the "U-R-I U-R-I U-R-I-N-E!" chants.

[@loveheals6184]

We love Coach Chaney. He actually cared about his players as human beings not commodities. He wanted personal and professional success for them.

[@CoreyT127]

The good old days!

[@barryprice4202]

Totally agree 100%!

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Lost amidst the Calipari/Chaney fireworks- the on-court Temple/UMass showdown on ABC was a good game.

00:35 is that the eddie Jones from the lakers?

[@SpeedinBulletPodcast]

Yup

[@Mikepleith]

Jim Maloney was always there to catch Chaney before he went completely off the rails. They were a great partnership and I don’t think Chaney was ever the same after Maloney died.

[@fashizzle78]

"kick your raaass" 😆

[@joshuasmith6439]

Good for you John Chaney calling out Calipari like that. Sadly it was not until Calipari left that UMass got investigated and the banners came down. Calipari needs to be fired from Kentucky where he's at now. There's a reason why Memphis students and alums blocked his being honored when the school tried to a few years ago.

[@TheEsquireofSports2.0]

Now he's run from UK. Another round of sanctions incoming for Kentucky.

They were in the tournament almost every year when I was growing up and thought they were one of those top schools like UNC or Duke. It wasn't until later I realized how much he elevated them.

[@waynepalmer319]

No worries Mr. Chaney. Everybody wants to kick Calipari's ass especially after he wrecked 2 programs UMASS and Memphis!

[@BillyBob-ec5ox]

And now he’s wrecked UK, and most of them want to kick his ass too

[@johnathanrush4666]

Ruined the Wildcats too. 😂

[@TheEsquireofSports2.0]

And now UK.

[@BillyBob-ec5ox]

Chaney knew what a snake Calipari was back then. Now, everyone knows it.

[@paravecchiavince9685]

Should’ve gotten out of the way and let them have at it. Chaney would’ve leveled him.

[@Deezy415]

[@MikeBrown-mm4di]

Temple NEVER made a final 4 under Chaney and despite this anomaly he was a better role model for his players than an X and O's coach. Temple is located in the worst part of Philly (North) and they practiced at 6am,so he was somewhat limited in the type of kids that were up for that for 4-5yrs. Still I think he was overrated as a coach, and underrated as a human being and role model. RIP Chaney

The golden age of ESPN now it’s unwatchable

[@gturcott1]

Chaney did not like Cal and now we understand why. Crook.

[@amcdavey]

John Calipari is a weasel

[@markjackson6431]

Baby Tirico

[@therealsportsjunkieofflori6705]

The day after that tirade, one of my coworkers (a Temple grad and fellow member of our internal Fantasy Hoops League) sent me an email (in jest) reiterating Chaney’s words, “Next I see you, I’m gonna kick your ***! You remember that!” As league co-commissioner, when I published the fantasy scores, I added a blurb stating the league was considering disciplinary action, including “fines, surcharges, and/or a suspension levied by the commissioner’s office.” RIP John Chaney

[@MrCharmed11]

Basically Chaney wanted to beat Calipari's one good time lol
