How about basketball genius, too. Invented the matchup zone defense that all the big schools employ. If he had the players that Wooden or Dean Smith had, he would have won national championships too.
Would a basketball genuis resort to this:

Chaney, angered by what he thought were illegal screens by Saint Joseph’s, inserted seldom-used, 6-foot-8, 250-pound Nehemiah Ingram against the Hawks on Tuesday to “send a message.” Ingram fouled Bryant hard, sending him sprawling to the floor.
BTW, Ingram broke Bryant's arm, ending his senior season. I guess there's genius in that too?


Dan, how many times did Red Auerbach bring in a "goon" to "send a message"? Did it take away from his basketball genius? One has nothing to do with the other. You cannot stand here and say Chaney is not a basketball genius and has not contributed immensely to the game. Let's be fair to Chaney. He mad a mistake and he has admitted it. Move on.
