John Chaney

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Former NCAAM Temple coach died at 89.
If you're from Philly, or followed the old Big 5, you know this name. RIP to a legend in my eyes.

An all time great. Won't ever be thought of that way by the general public, but he did a lot on and off the floor in Philly. RIP indeed.
