 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Temple has been invited back to the postseason — and John Chaney is going along. Chaney will be back coaching in the NIT after a three-week suspension for sending a seldom-used big man onto the floor to commit hard fouls that left Saint Joseph's senior John Bryant with a broken arm.
The 73-year-old Chaney first suspended himself for one game before the school extended the punishment to three games after the extent of Bryant's injury was discovered. The Hall of Fame coach then banned himself from the sideline for the Atlantic 10 tournament.
Temple athletic director Bill Bradshaw said the coach's return shouldn't be a surprise because the suspension only extended to the end of the A-10 tournament. He declined to discuss any conditions of Chaney's return.
