- When John Chaney got into a HEATED EXCHANGE with John Calipari 😮 | ESPN Throwback
Revisit one of college basketball's most infamous coaching confrontations when Temple coach John Chaney threatened UMass's John Calipari during his postgame news conference on Feb. 13, 1994.

The only thing I gotta say is... RIP Coach Chaney.
My God, I remember this so well. And Chaney was DEFENDING the refs! Not something he did very often. Loved that Eddie Jones and Aaron McKie, two players who had long NBA careers, are the players in there to pull their beloved coach away. Chaney was passion, discipline, hard work, refine your strengths, know your weaknesses and avoid them (I could go on). Of my personal sports heroes, he is on my Mount Rushmore.
John Chaney, RIP 😭💔, respect 💪.
I've got $20 that says Calipari crapped himself!!! lol
I sat in a postgame press conference with Chaney. I would take that bet. Guy was very short, but his eyes were scary. He looked psychotic up close. However, when he got to talking, he was as mellow and classy as you can get.
😂😂😂
He was a great coach and person.. had the opportunity to meet him once a very gracious man.. I think the intensity of this game and Calipari’s punchable face got the best of him this night 🤣
Coach Chaney was all class and a gentleman of the highest character. And despite what led up to this moment, I do respect Calipari's response. Instead of lashing out emotionally in the moment, which most of these current coaches would've done...he decided to de-escalate the situation. I appreciate that.
Three rows behind the bench that night. Tons of trash talk. Those guys were playing hard that night.
I loved John Chaney!! No nonsense coach who wasn't afraid of nothing or nobody😂😂😂
Only a one game suspension for that
Considering how his coaching career ended, I am not surprised Cheney went off like this.
Considering how he was about right and wrong, I am not surprised.
He was smiling last night when oakland beat kentucky
They don’t make them like John Chaney anymore. That was a generation when men were still men.
Calipari has always been a bag
Cal is actually a great guy. Has been instrumental in many young men leading successful lives.
