Just read it & shut up.

First of all, I'm not sure why you posted this article as a response to my comments about flagrant or non-flagrant technicals.

Second, why would this article shut someone up if s/he were "anti-Chaney" or if s/he thought he should be fired? Mickey tells a couple of great stories about him and he's a good guy?

He is a good guy in many ways. He runs a clean program, no NCAA violations. He graduates his players. His players love him and are loyal to him. He's in the Hall of Fame.

But he's not a good guy on the court. There is no denying that. He has struck his players. He has choked a player. He has threatened to kill an opposing coach. He has now called his own player a "goon" and sent him to intentionally commit "hard" fouls.

Love him, hate him -- I don't really care. But a fluff piece done for his induction into the HOF is hardly a definitive picture of the man.
