On February 13, 1994, Chaney threatened to kill then-University of Massachusetts Amherst coach John Calipari at a post-game news conference, where Calipari was speaking at a podium. Chaney entered the conference mid-speech, calling him an "Italian son-of-a-bitch," accusing Calipari of manipulating the referees. When Calipari attempted to respond to the accusations, Chaney yelled, "Shut up...!", and proceeded to charge the stage, before being stopped by security. While being held back, Chaney shouted, "When I see you, I'm gonna kick your arse!" As security restrained Chaney, he repeatedly yelled, "I'll kill you!" and angrily admitted telling his players to "knock your fricking kids in the mouth." Chaney received a one-game suspension for the incident. The two coaches later reconciled.

At the time, I thought Chaney was wrong but now I think differently, knowing how Cal is.

Temple was so solid under him. Tourney in 16 of his first 17 years before he lost juice. 5 Elite Eights in a 13 year window too

My favorite coach ever.

Temple was the last team anyone wanted to play especially in tTournamemt. I was hoping we would avoid them in the 2000 draw. Would have been just as awful as the Wisconsin matchup.

I remember watching that clip on SportsCenter as a 10-year-old. It seems so insane to me at the time. You just didn’t see things like that back then.
