Not in Hall of Fame

2021 seems so familiar to 2020.

Another legendary figure in the sports world has passed away as Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee and College Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, John Chaney, passed away.  He was 89.

John Chaney led Cheyney State to a Division II Championship in 1978, and Temple University hired him as their men’s basketball coach in 1982.  He held that position until 2006.

Chaney’s Owls appeared in 17 NCAA Tournaments and while he was quick to lose his temper, he was even quicker to help those in need.  A stickler for the defensive side of the ball, Chaney led Temple to six Atlantic 10 titles and he was a five-time conference Coach of the Year. 

Chaney retired in 2006 with a career record of 741-312.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of John Chaney.
