Happy heavenly birthday John Chaney. Almost everything I have today can be traced back to him and him giving a kid like me a chance. Born 93 years ago today.

Basketball has been good to me. Part of the resistance.

If you're missing someone today may their memory be a blessing.
But he would watch a lot of film on opponents and then lie to us. I remember prior to playing Duquesne one year he praised them to a point we thought they were top 10 with future NBA all-stars. We beat them 110-65.
12.12.2024 22:42 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Chaney story: Coach didnβt really have us watch film on opponents. It was always about us. He thought if we saw other teams turning the ball over with no consequences, throwing lob passes and leaving our feet with no plans he was afraid their style would rub off on us.
12.12.2024 22:42 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Seriously question. Why do they require basketball players to tuck in their jerseys? Is it that big a deal? Refs have more important things to pay attention to. Between the HS game I was at Saturday and college game tonight I must have seen refs tell a player to tuck it in 50 or 60 times. Stupid.

Who cares what they have to say about the price of gas. Put an expert on.

He didnβt golf, he didnβt do radio or TV, he didnβt make appearances. 96% of his time was spent with basketball related activities. 3% buying and eating food from Phillyβs famous establishments. And 1% buying high-end clothing.

Itβs Clementine season yβall! Hereβs a couple Haikuβs I wrote:
Bright citrus sunrise,
Hidden treasures in the rind,
Joy with every slice.
Orbs of pure sunshine,
Easy peel, a sweet surprise,
Happiness in halves.
It you havenβt guessed, I really like Clementines.
Hopefully Barkley is in an ice bath somewhere. Then wrap him in bubble wrap.

1. A Philadelphia area college goes for a National Championship today. Go St Joes field hockey! 1:30 ESPNU
2. If your turkey is in the freezer take that bitch out and transfer it to the refrigerator.
3. John Chaney did not play players that could not play defense.
Field hockey national championship game?

PS (even though this is black and white they DID have color photography back then).
Apparently I did something right. I may have gone three whole minutes without a turnover.
