He was a major factor and pioneer in college basketball.
Before being hired at Temple, he had made three Elite Eights and won a National Championship at Cheney State. As that time it was unheard of to go from coaching at an HBCU to a major D1 school.
He made five Elite Eights at Temple and made The Dance 17 of 18 years at one point.
His early morning practices were followed by study halls and making sure his players went to class and kept up with their studies.
Chaney was a mentor to coaches for decades.
RIP Coach...
