Coach Cal wished John Chaney happy birthday today so let’s watch that time they almost fought


Former Temple head coach John Chaney turned 87 today and his old friend John Calipari wished him a happy birthday on Twitter, like good friends do. But there was a time when the two Hall of Famers weren’t so cordial with one another, back when Chaney interrupted one of Calipari’s press conferences at UMass to say, “I’ll kill you!”
Cal’s birthday tweet to Chaney said, “I know everyone still remembers when I tried to choke him — or wait, did he try to choke me? I can’t remember. LOL.”
My friend John Chaney turned 87 today. I know everyone still remembers when I tried to choke him — or wait, did he try to choke me? I can’t remember. LOL. A true Hall of Fame basketball coach but even better at developing young men. I miss our battles. Happy birthday, Coach!

Cal has always managed to bring out “the best” in other people. LOL
Lol. He sure can T-wah. He gets in their heads and never leaves. Lol. I’m tickled to death to have John Calipari as our Coach and honestly wouldn’t want anyone else right now. He’s just the Perfect Man for Ky. We’re so lucky and a few on here as the dumbest people in the world to not see it. Lol. Having Ellen, is just Icing on the cake. Cals best half. Lol.
