cc, I found this old story..
Feb. 13, 1994, Temple coach John Chaney had to be pulled away from UMass's John Calipari following a Minutemen win. You know this, and the images are part of our collective sports memory by now. But try to watch the incident with fresh eyes. Never forget how incredible it is that this happened.
Chaney actually had the moral high ground, before he squandered it by charging the dais. He was upset over Calipari haranguing the referees as they left the floor, reportedly telling them he'd make sure they'd never call a UMass game again.
Chaney:
"You've got a good ball club. But what you did with the officials out there is wrong, and I don't want to be a party to that. You understand?...You had the best officiating you could ever get here. And for you to ride them, I don't want to be a party to that."
Calipari played it cool. Chaney did not. In the ensuing scrum, he promised to kick Calipari's ass and repeatedly yelled "I'll kill you." He received a one-game suspension, which is roughly 19 games fewer than what he'd get if this happened today. (It is also horrifying to consider the think pieces this would have spawned had it occurred in the internet era.)

The biggest reason Chaney was always mad at Cal was Chaney was always mad, because he could not stop Cal from beating that zone Chaney played. Cal had Chaneys number. And Cal tore Chaneys zone apart, every time.
