- Legendary coach John Chaney died on Jan. 29, 2021 at 89 years old. He led Temple for 24 years, but perhaps no season was more memorable than when the 11-seeded Owls went on a shocking run to the 2001 Elite Eight. See their top moments from the tournament.

Rest in peace to a legend
Great teacher, coach, and leader of young men. He and Boeheim will go down as the greatest teachers of zone defense in basketball. He's also the reason why you don't judge a coach on the number of titles won. He never made a Final Four and was better than the majority of coaches that got there.
As a Philly native sad to see him go, John Chaney wish he had won a National Title like Jerry Tarkanian did with UNLV.
Philadelphia and College Basketball will miss you Coach Chaney. RIP
To the trained eye, Coach Chaney and Coach Knight always got the most out of the talent they coached.
Love that impassioned “last chance” interview Coach Chaney gave after the Carolina loss in the elite eight in 1991.
It was from the heart and showed how he absolutely loved his kids.
I was there at TU (class of '03) and witnessed the greatness of the legend, coach Chaney. He helped so many in his time there, prayers for his family. Still love re-watching his teams excel in the tourney...still think Greer should've made it to the next level!
Pre...internet coach....definitely one of the best! He and Bob Knight loves each other! Great coach and may you have rest my friend!
0:06 nice
That match up zone...practice at 4pm....rip coach.....so many good players.....philly proud....
That's what the City of Brotherly Love is ALL ABOUT in Men's Basketball of Temple Owls.
Chaney's teams were known for their intense team defense, no matter the player or position, and they very rarely took possessions off! And they always seem to amp it up further when March rolled around! I'm a die-hard Duke fan (since '81-'82) and remember how truly fortunate we were to take out Temple during the '88 East Region Final! That was Chaney's best ball club and Mark Macon was one of the best and most impactful freshman I've seen in the 41 years I've watched D-1 basketball! And had they beaten us, I still believe they'd have won the national championship! 33-2, blew out a very good Carolina team that made the regionals and only a 1-pt loss at Vegas, coupled with beating a Rhode Island squad three times that nearly took us out the round before we played the Owls! '88 Temple was legit, and we played just a tad bit better defensively! RIP John Chaney! I liked and respected you as much as any coach of a Duke opponent!
What's even more impressive is that Temple blew out Carolina at the Dean Dome on NBC. Coach Chaney may not have a ring, but he's still better than a majority of coaches who made the Final Four. What's even more impressive is that he always scheduled tough non-conference opponents such as Cincinnati, Duke (at times), UNLV, Kansas, Illinois, Arizona and some others to help them when it came to March.
@@thomastripp9002 yes, and alot of the time Thomas, he wouldn't have even needed the brutal opposition because whenever the tournament rolled around, teams that had to face the Owls had never seen their defense! Same ordeal with teams having to face the Syracuse trademark who'd never played against it
@@thomastripp9002 And I vividly remember that 83-66 beatdown of the Tar Holes! Watched every second!
@@bradlewis6514 I bet...I own the game on DVD
@@thomastripp9002 oh man, nice! And I'll reiterate about Mark Macon! He was one of my all-time favorite college players! Wasn't just good, I liked him! Billy King held him to 7-29 in that '88 East championship! If he doesn't we wouldn't have beaten you! King's defense that year was spectacular no matter who he guarded, but it's all about matchups! I to this day still feel if u had beaten us u would have won it all at the FF! We we're a bad matchup against Kansas because we had no one who could man Danny Manning! U guys did with Tim Perry! Perry played great one on one defense and altered shots
Temple was really a lot better the season before this one. They won 18 of their last 19 games (11 of them by at least 17 points), finished 1st in the A-10, and won their conference tournament. They were a 2 seed and ranked 5th in the final AP poll but lost in the 2nd round to Seton Hall in overtime. Temple fans will never forget the name Ty Shine. Chaney reached the elite 8 five times but could never get past the final hurdle to the final four. Temple reached the elite 8 in 1999 as a 6 seed and 2001 as an 11 seed, which makes the second round exit as a 2 seed in 2000 even more painful. They always lost to a blue blood school in the elite 8 in North Carolina, Michigan State, Michigan, and Duke twice. Chaney’s best team ever was in 1988-‘89 when Temple went 32-1 before the tournament and finished ranked number one in the country. Only a 1 point loss at UNLV prevented the perfect season. Their season ended with a 10 point loss to Duke, who was in the middle of a 9 year stretch with 7 final 4 appearances, 5 championship game appearances, and 2 national titles.
1:11 udonis haslem sighting
jesus those shorts look cool
RIP
The years Chaney's teams made the Elite Eight they always ran into a powerhouse in the regional final. Duke twice, UNC once, Fab Five Michigan once and Michigan State in this one. The frustrating part was that two of his better teams (1994 and 2000) actually did have a broken bracket ahead of them in their region but both lost in the second round.
They lost to Michigan twice in the elite 8. 1992 and 93.
The 1992 loss to Michigan was 1st round. They beat Ohio St in elite 8 that year.
Coming from a Rutgers fan, I hope everyday Temple gets an invite to the ACC/Big East or another high major... We need better programs along the Northeast Corridor.
No one OUT COACHED John Chaney.
RIP
