「球賽有如人生，真正重要的就是這種難以言喻的東西，非關勝負卻又關係成敗。就像燈火闌珊處你回顧過往的路程，就像夜深人靜時你凝視鏡中的自己。」 http://www.nbamag.com.tw/article.php?sid=1780 PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) - The legendary career of Temple coach John Chaney has come to an end. Without using the word "retirement" at an 11 a.m. news conference on Monday, the 74-year-old Hall of Famer stepped down doing what he likes to do best - recounting countless stories about education and its role with helping the poor. "Coach John Chaney's basketball achievements are legendary," Temple president David Adamany said. "In two dozen years at Temple, Coach Chaney did not always have the strongest recruiting classes, but he always got the most out of his players, on and off the court. .... Chaney started his college coaching career at Cheyney State in 1972, winning a Division II national title in 1978 before heading to Temple in 1982. He guided the Owls to eight Atlantic 10 Conference regular- season titles and six tournament crowns. Although he never went to the Final Four, Chaney coached in five regional finals among 17 NCAA Tournament bids. .... In 34 years, Chaney posted a 741-301 record, including a 516-252 mark in 24 years at Temple. The Owls posted a 17-14 record this season, including an 8-8 conference record. Chaney ranks 13th all-time in wins and was fifth among active coaches, behind Bob Knight, Eddie Sutton, Lute Olson and Mike Krzyzewski. He was national coach of the year twice and A-10 coach of the year five times, and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 12.203.34.226
