He just got suspended for the season.

EDITED to add - but he'll be eligible for the post-season. Yup, this is the type of athletic program I want in our conference.




Not.

Somebody's gotta replace Marshall. :D

So "for the season" really means, what, 1 game?

Three whole games. What authoritarians.

Greg Doyle on Sportsline.com says Cheney should be fired for what he did. That could speed up the talks between Temple and the MAC.

=>Also, no punishment for the player because the John Cheney order the "Code Red" and Nehemiah was just following orders like a good marine.

Quote:Saint Joseph's also wanted the conference to punish Ingram, but officials decided against that.


"Because Nehemiah was instructed to commit the hard fouls, we found fault with coach Chaney, not Nehemiah," Ray Cella, assistant Atlantic 10 commissioner told Katz.

If Chaney had any respect and/or class, he announce his resignation. Instead, he attempts to give himself a one-game suspension, which is turned into a three-game suspension, which is a total joke.

Is gooning it up all that bad?

Gooning it up is one thing, sending in a guy to take someone out is another thing entirely.

I'm still waiting to see a NCAA release about this.

Its only bad when the player gooned had a career ending injury. Chaney didn't have ending a guys career in mind when he called in his squad.

Well that's a damn nice redeeming quality.



Unless, it's from the perspective of an individual with a career ending injury.

I think the media and you guys are taking this a little over the top. In fact, you are blowing this out of proportion. From what I can gather, Chaney did NOT have intentions to injure the St. Johns player. Yeah, he ordered his own players to rough it up a little and perhaps go overboard on physical contact but I don't think it was his or his player's intention to break the kid's arm. 3 games is a suitable penalty in my opinion. Was it wrong? Yes. Was it disrespect and a lack of sportsmanship? Absolutely. But to say that Chaney should be fired, suspended for the postseason, or be brought up on criminal charges is downright stupid. Use your brains guys. We all get a little carried away in sports and usually it doesn't result in someone getting hurt. Chaney, unfortunately, has to live with this and he has shown remorse for it. Temple has already set a penalty and I think it is time to move on. It's not like the Temple player clotheslined the St. John's kid or punched him in the head. It was a hard, cheap, foul that turned out bad. That's all.

Nobodies denying that this kind of stuff doesn't happen all the time on the court.

What we're all mad about is Chaney's outright boasting about it after the game to the press. The kid was injured and Chaney is sitting at a table pounding his chest. It's pathetic.

on a fan message board, surely not.

Temple Grad here. There can be no defense for what Chaney did, but I would not indict the whole school. Also, Chaney has guided many an errant ghetto kid to make a success of himself over the years, which is well know in Philly, but not nationally. He has a lot of "street cred" in that regard. That being said, I think the analogy between Chaney and Woody Hayes is pretty close. If I don't outright fire him, I as the president of the university, would prepare his resignation letter and say, "sometime before the Atlantic 10 Tournament is over, for your own dignity, take the opportunity to say farewell to the university in a way that all will regard as honorable."

Chaney has been cut a lot of slack before (remember the "I'm gonna kill you!" incident). The guy is out of control and needs someone to wake him up with a little discipline.

Regardless of Chaney's intentions, the results were horrendous. If this level of goon-ery is taken as status quo in college athletics, it is certainly a sad reflection upon the men and women who coach student athletes.

As for the comment from the Temple fan concerning letting this incident color the MACbbs posters perception of the school as a whole, don't worry, there are plenty of posters here with, at least, consistant opinions of Temple's value to the MAC.

Thats ridiculous. Chaney had a press conferance on Monday stating his intentions of gooning it up and followed it up w/acting upon it on wed.. How anybody who enjoys the competition of sports can defend this guy is beyond me.

And lets not forget the assault on George Washington asst, Gary Giemcolmb in the 80's when Chaney was suspended a game or two.

Now he ordered to have a kid assault. I reality a case could be made, I wouldn't do it, that its no differant than ordering to injure someone, hire them, and commit the act. I believe thats a felony. His act was definitely outside any spirit of the game. Not to mention if Bobby Knight called one of his african american players a goon the NAACP would be all over his #ss. Political correctness is a beautiful thing, eh. Maybe honest and equality would be nice.

BTW, the 3 games may be the most meaningless games Temple ever played. They have no shot at the Tourney if they don't win it and Chaney will coach the tourney.

Further good to see the Temple students spit on the St.Joes player who had his arm broken. I guess they were playing follow the leader. Can't wait to trip to beautiful and safe North Philly. A dump by any measurement. Nothing less than forced resignation to save face would be proper.
