smurphy, agree with everything you said except,hayes stepped down. john will go the same way woody went. THEY CALL HIM IN & SAY YOU DO IT OUR WE WILL. that will be his best option, my guess is ,he wont take it, I hope he does. Woody was a great coach,but not very classy.

i'm no chaney defender but, like woody hayes, he's not a bad coach or a bad person, he's just a dinosaur that has outlived his day. i'm in my fifties now and played college ball in the late sixties. back then it was not uncommon for teams to have a guy on the end of the bench who was put in solely as an enforcer to punish rough play by the opposition, especially when someone was trying to intimidate your star scorer. i'm sure there was no intent to break the kid's arm, but that kind of tactic is just not accepted in today's game. today the coach k approach of hurling continuous obscenities at the officials is the accepted practice of dealing with this kind of situation. i guess that's progress.

cheney should just take the pressure off and announce his retirement at the end of the season.

Loophole...you got it. The old days had an enforcer...Chaney has outlived his style, time to go.

On the course!
If this was the NHL, no one would blink a fuking eye.

These are sad times when a free thinking coach can't think outside the box...........
