Temple's Chaney to be inducted into hall of fame

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Former Temple basketball coach John Chaney is already in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but he will finally be inducted into the school's hall of fame later this month.

Chaney led the Owls to the NCAA tournament 17 times in his 24 seasons at Temple and was the National Coach of the Year in 1988. He was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2001.

Chaney won 741 games in his career, including 510 at Temple. The Owls made the postseason in 23 of Chaney's 24 seasons as head coach.

Joining Chaney at the Jan. 24 ceremony will be Dr. Ray Moyer, who has served as the school's team physician since 1978. Chaney and Moyer will be inducted at an afternoon ceremony and introduced at halftime of the Owls' game against Charlotte that evening.
