When John Chaney got into a HEATED EXCHANGE with John Calipari 😮 | ESPN Throwback 

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.

The only thing I gotta say is... RIP Coach Chaney.

John Chaney, RIP 😭💔, respect 💪.

I've got $20 that says Calipari crapped himself!!! lol

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 🤣

Three rows behind the bench that night. Tons of trash talk. Those guys were playing hard that 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.

I loved John Chaney!! No nonsense coach who wasn't afraid of nothing or nobody😂😂😂

They don’t make them like John Chaney anymore. That was a generation when men were still men.

Only a one game suspension for that

Considering how his coaching career ended, I am not surprised Cheney went off like this.

This is why College Basketball is in a bad state currently because of Coaches like John Calipari 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

He was smiling last night when oakland beat kentucky

Calipari has always been a bag
