PHILADELPHIA (AP) - John Chaney retired Monday after 24 seasons as Temple's basketball coach, ending a Hall of Fame career in which his temper sometimes got the better of him.
The 74-year-old Chaney, a fiery sideline presence admired as much for his mentoring as his success on the court, guided Temple to five NCAA regional finals and 17 NCAA tournament appearances and was twice the national coach of the year.

Chaney was a good coach that overstayed just a bit IMO. New blood was needed. Temple won't be the same not seeing Chaney on the sidelines and I'm sure he'll be missed......but not by Calipari.
