MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Young’s Motorsports announced Friday that Tate Fogleman will return to the organization for the full NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season beginning with the Feb. 12 running of the NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona Int’l Speedway.

With Fogleman’s return, Young’s Motorsports will return to a three-truck operation this season and re-introduce the No. 12 Chevrolet Silverado, a number the team utilized during the 2019 season.

Fogleman, 20, joined Young’s Motorsports full-time last season aboard the team’s flagship No. 02 Chevrolet Silverado entry. While the COVID-19 pandemic presented its challenges for the rookie Truck Series driver with no practice or qualifying for most of the season, he posted numerous top-15 and top-20 finishes en-route to a 17th place finish in the championship standings.

His rookie season was highlighted by a 13th place finish at Michigan Int’l Speedway.

“I’m thrilled to return to Young’s Motorsports this season,” said Fogleman. “2020 certainly provided its challenges for everyone, including me but I’m taking that experience and think it will help us as we set out to accomplish a lot this year.”

The Durham, N.C., native is a third-generation racer and son of super late model and former NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Jay Fogleman.

Fogleman first climbed behind the wheel of a stock car at age seven and has not looked back.

At 15 years old he became the youngest Pro All-Star Series South super late model champion in series history. The High Point University student first joined Young’s Motorsports for three races in 2018 and returned in 2020 to tackle a full 23-race slate.

Longtime Fogleman marketing partner Solid Rock Carriers will launch his sophomore season as a partner on his No. 12 Chevrolet Silverado, with additional partners to be named later.

“Everyone on the team knows how driven I am to race and I’m ready to tackle the year head-on,” added Fogleman, a veteran of PASS and CARS Super Late Models. “I am really grateful to Tyler Young and the Young family for their support and this opportunity again in 2021.”

Ryan London will return to Young’s Motorsports this season and serve as crew chief of the No. 12 Chevrolet Silverado.  Loudon served as crew chief of the No. 12 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado during the latter half of the 2019 Truck Series season.

“I’m excited to be back at Young’s Motorsports again,” said London. “I’m really looking forward to working with Tate too. He is a racer and like the rest of us, I know he will give 100 percent every lap.

“He had success in his first full-time year considering he had never seen and more less had any laps at most of the tracks he ran. I feel with the team Tyler (Young) has put together Tate’s sophomore season should be his best yet.”

“Our organization is thrilled to get Tate back into one of our trucks and expand the Young’s Motorsports organization back to three teams,” said team principal Tyler Young. “We’re very happy about our lineup and look forward to having another successful and memorable season.”

In addition to Fogleman, Young’s Motorsports will also field NASCAR Camping World Truck Series entries for Rookie of the Year candidate Kris Wright (No. 02 Chevrolet Silverado) and veteran driver Spencer Boyd (No. 20 Chevrolet Silverado).

Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand knows better than to agitate former teammate Zdeno Chara, even though he's now an opponent.

"No, you don't want to poke the bear," Marchand said.

Chara faces the Bruins on Saturday for the first time since leaving Boston as a free agent, signing with the Washington Capitals in the offseason. The Bruins wanted to decrease his playing time in favor of giving younger defensemen a longer look.

Chara, 43, felt he could still be a regular contributor in the NHL, and his 14-year tenure with Boston ended with a one-year contract in D.C.

"I love them as my brothers," Chara said on Friday. "We understand this is a business. We have to play for our teams and compete out there. But at the same time, we have something that is very deep, goes far back and we'll cherish those memories."

Marchand knows whatever adoration is shared between the Bruins and Chara won't transfer to the ice.

"He's the kind of guy where when he's out there, you're an opponent. He's not going to have any friends out there. He's going to play the game and compete and battle," Marchand said. "I'm not going to poke the bear in any way. The biggest thing I can do is just skate away from him. If you get within that reach or his grasp, then you're not going anywhere."

Chara said he doesn't expect anything out of the ordinary from Marchand in their first meeting, either.

"I don't think it's going to be any different," he said. "He's a guy who will always go out there and compete for his teams. I think we had many practices against each other and we both compete pretty hard. I don't expect anything else from him or anybody else."

Chara has averaged 20:29 in ice time per game for Washington. In eight games, he has a goal and two assists, scoring his first as a Capital in their win over the New York Islanders on Thursday. When asked if he's proven he can still be a regular player rather than the spare part the Bruins saw him as being, Chara said: "I'm just trying to focus on trying to help this team as best I can."

There's more to Saturday's game (7 p.m. ET, ESPN+) than this emotional reunion: The Capitals are in first place in the East Division with 13 points in eight games, and Boston is right behind them with 11 points in seven games.

"I don't think it's going to be that much about me playing against the Boston Bruins. I think these are two really good teams, playing for two points that are going to be out there tomorrow to grab," Chara said.

Still, it's Zdeno Chara vs. the Boston Bruins. The former captain. The defensive star. The man who first hoisted the Stanley Cup when Boston won for the first time in 39 years back in 2011.

"It'll be weird seeing him in a different uniform," Marchand said.

From the Boston Bruins to a rival high school, the hockey community has rallied to support injured 18-year-old high school player A.J. Quetta, whose headfirst crash into the boards might leave him paralyzed.

"It's incredible. Close to 10,000 people taking the time to support A.J. I think the [fundraising] number's now probably close to a million dollars," said Tim Sullivan, president of Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro, Massachusetts, where Quetta is a senior.

Quetta suffered a spinal cord injury in a Tuesday night game against Pope Francis in West Springfield, awkwardly falling into the boards on an attempted bodycheck. He was transported to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield that night.

Quetta has already undergone one spinal surgery since the accident. His sister, Elyse Quetta, wrote on the family's fundraising page that her brother "might not be able to move his body again."

News of the injury quickly spread through the New England hockey community, which rallied to Quetta's support. The family's GoFundMe had a target of $10,000; as of Friday afternoon, it was closing in on $600,000 in donations.

The Bruins have pledged "a minimum donation of $100,000" and are holding a game-used stick auction to raise more funds -- including those used by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin of the Penguins, who played in Boston this week. The Bruins honored Quetta by hanging his jersey behind their bench against Pittsburgh on Thursday night, putting his nameplate in their locker room and symbolically awarding him the puck as player of the game.

"Despite these tragic circumstances, it makes my family and the Boston Bruins organization very proud to see such an outpouring of support from the New England hockey community," said Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs.

Sullivan said that beyond the money raised by the Bruins and the GoFundMe, there's over $130,000 coming from WEEI's The Greg Hill Foundation, with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft pledging to match up to $25,000 of the money raised. There's another private six-figure donation from within the school.

Pope Francis Prep, the team that played Bishop Feehan on Tuesday, is raising money by selling shamrock stickers with Quetta's No. 10 on them.

Sullivan said the players and team parents have assembled as a group called "A.J.'s Army," which already has shirts printed in support of Quetta, and have a number of other fundraising options they're looking to put into action.

As for the school, Sullivan said much of its support for Quetta and his family this week came in the form of prayer.

"I don't know, it might sound cliché, but it's been a big part of this. And Mrs. [Nicole] Quetta, I talked to her yesterday, and she talked about that first. It's what we do here every day, but it's been a little bit different this week," he said.

Bishop Feehan had a game on Wednesday that was postponed, but the team is scheduled to play on Friday night.

"The boys are crushed for their friend. They had games coming up and practices. We were like, 'You tell us. There's no wrong answer here. Whatever feels right.' And they decided to skate. Practice went well, and they're playing [tonight]," Sullivan told ESPN. "We told them that it's a hockey game. Go play hockey. It may not be fun tonight, but it's also not a memorial service. Playing hockey is OK."

SAN DIEGO – Josh Gregory intended to spend Friday following Will Zalatoris around Torrey Pines’ South Course. Instead, the short game guru and performance coach is headed home following a painful night.

Gregory was taken to a local hospital just past midnight after falling out his bed and fracturing his left shoulder.

“I sleep like a lunatic anyway, but it was just around midnight I woke up in a ton of pain. I was still in shock,” Gregory told GolfChannel.com. “All the sports I’ve played I’ve never been injured and I literally fell out of bed and fractured my shoulder. It’s the most pain I’ve ever felt.”

Patrick Reed’s caddie, Kessler Karain, drove Gregory, who was staying in a hotel, to the hospital and he was scheduled to fly home Friday morning.

USWNT and Manchester United midfielder Tobin Heath will be out for 10 to 12 weeks with an ankle injury, manager Casey Stoney confirmed on Friday, ruling her out of contention for the SheBelieves Cup.

Heath, 32, was injured in training just before United's Women's Super League clash against Chelsea on Jan. 17.

"Unfortunately it is a longer one," Casey told a news conference. "We are looking at 10 to 12 weeks from the injury.

"It is a part of the game. She was a big player for us so she is a big loss. But, as all injuries, I always say it is a window of opportunity for somebody else.

"Disappointing for her but she is still heavily influential in our environment and we will work hard to get her back as safe and as quick as possible."

The SheBelieves Cup runs from Feb. 18-24. Heath, alongside United teammate Christen Press, had previously opted not to travel back to the United States for Vlatko Andonovski's January camp.

Andonovski has to yet to announce his roster for the tournament where the USWNT will play Argentina, Brazil and Canada after Japan withdrew due to COVID-19 concerns.

There was more positive news for Manchester City's Sam Mewis as manager Gareth Taylor confirmed her injury wasn't as serious as initially feared.

Mewis limped off during the USWNT's 6-0 friendly win over Colombia on Jan. 22 and was shown with ice packed around her ankle.

"Sam's come back and I think it's kind of just working out with a scan which is kind of remnants of an old injury and which is kind of a new injury, because she's showing quite well to be honest," he told a news conference on Friday.

"She's looking good. She's come through a few checks. I think this weekend [against West Ham] will be too soon for her, but there's a real possibility that she could be back at the back end of next week and ready for the game after that."

Taylor said that it was important not to load players too much but also to listen to their instincts about injuries.

"We need to make sure that we're not pushing players too much too soon, but Sam's a very positive person," Taylor added. "Even when she was given the news about her injury, she felt that it was better than what that was showing. That just speaks volumes of the person [she is] really.

"She's a very positive person and she's working really hard to get herself back in."

Jesse Lingard has moved to West Ham from Manchester United on loan until the end of the season, the Old Trafford club announced on Friday.

Sources have told ESPN the deal will cost West Ham £1.5 million and they will also cover Lingard's wages for the remainder of the campaign.

West Ham beat competition from Newcastle, West Brom and Sheffield United to sign the 28-year-old England international, who is desperate to play regular first time football after featuring in three matches for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team this season. His two starts have both come in the domestic cups and he has not featured in the Premier League since July.

West Ham manager David Moyes knows Lingard from his time in charge of United and took the midfielder on the preseason tour in 2013. England manager Gareth Southgate and assistant Steve Holland gave glowing references to a number of managers, sources said, after Lingard played a key role in the country's run to the World Cup semifinals in 2018.

United triggered a one-year extension in Lingard's contract before Christmas that will keep him at the club until 2022, but he asked for permission to leave on loan.

— West Ham United (@WestHam) January 29, 2021

He has scored 33 goals in 210 games for United since coming through the academy and making his debut under Louis van Gaal in 2014. He scored crucial goals in the 2016 FA Cup final under Van Gaal and the 2017 League Cup final under Jose Mourinho.

Lingard joins a West Ham side who are fifth in the table after 20 matches, with the club enjoying their best start to a calendar year in their history. Moyes' side face champions Liverpool at the London Stadium on Sunday,

Eric Garcia was "all tied up," they said, but somehow he escaped. "Garcia: OK," Barcelona said. "Garcia: now," they said. "Garcia: done," they said. A bit like they had said, "Neymar: OK," "Neymar: now," and "Neymar: done." The Brazilian had been coming pretty much every day for months, right up to the day when he didn't. And then, they said, he was still coming. The window shut, but they didn't shut up; they carried on regardless.

They'd said Lautaro Martinez was coming, too. You might have noticed that he didn't, either. They had said the choice was between Neymar and Lautaro, when the reality was that Barcelona didn't have any choice, and they didn't have either of them. They didn't even have Memphis Depay. And so it went, over and over and over again. This week it was Garcia, but it was also David Alaba. It was Jose Gaya and Marcos Alonso. They were "candidates," they said.

Which was at least true: candidates for their front pages.

Reading the Catalan sports papers El Mundo Deportivo and Sport this week -- and last week, and the week before, and the weeks and months before that -- it was easy to be reminded of another moment's illumination from the great philosopher of our age, the man who foresaw everything. "This," Homer Simpson tells Lisa, sitting at the kitchen table, that morning's "US of A Today" in his hands, "is the only paper in America that's not afraid to tell the truth: that everything's just fine."

This week, Marca splashed their front page with a declaration of Barcelona's financial situation, the punning headline roughly translating as "bottomless pit." An economic black hole had opened up. Barcelona's situation was, it said, "dramatic." There was a "haemorrhage," a "crisis."

Ah, some said, well of course: that's Marca, the living embodiment of what Pep Guardiola called the "Madrid milk board" -- media accused of being at the behest of Real Madrid and, especially, their president, Florentino Perez. Marca, they suspected, were taking the chance to dance on Barcelona's grave. To make it out to be a grave in the first place, in fact.

They probably had a point. Experience tells everyone that. It's worth noting that virtually all of Europe's big clubs have huge debts at the moment. The pandemic has hit everyone hard. It's also true that few were swift to note the figures coming from Real Madrid. If Barcelona's total debt is €1.173 billion and their net debt €488 million, Madrid's is €901m and €355m, respectively. Hardly small change, either.

But the figures, quietly and unexpectedly released this week, are not some invention. They are Barcelona's own. And, well, look at that number again: €1.173 billion.

Everyone knew that Barcelona's financial situation was bad; it's been reported repeatedly. Everything that has happened in the past year or so -- yes, even pre-pandemic -- has pointed at it. But seeing it in black and white was still quite shocking, and think about it: the fact that it occupied a front page in Madrid but not in Barcelona is pretty shocking, too. As was seeing it played out over the potential signing of Garcia.

And that's the other thing to note here: All those headlines, all those stories, all those big names supposedly on their way -- don't make the mistake of thinking that all those are purely invented by the media, of thinking it's not what they were told or that it's what people want to hear, however much the urge grows to grab them and shout: You. Can't. Sign.

Everything's not just fine: over a billion euros in debt; wages accounting for 74% of the budget; a short-term debt of €720m; €186m in amortisations; a €488m loss in 2019-20; the need, somehow, to raise almost €200m this summer alone; a negative working capital of €602m; a long list of players to be paid for.

That list of players, by the way, makes for grim reading: €40m on Philippe Coutinho, €48 on Frenkie de Jong, €9.8m on Francisco Trincao, €52m on Miralem Pjanic (who only came as an act of financial engineering in the first place), €8m on Arthur (the man they sold while signing Pjanic, purely to bring the books in line), €6m on Emerson (who hasn't even arrived yet), €10.14m on Malcolm (who's been and gone). They still owe Bayern Munich for Arturo Vidal and Eibar for Marc Cucurella, and on it goes.

Yes, they're owed €46m by other clubs too -- although imagine if they default -- but they owe €126m.

This week, Carlos Tusquets -- the interim president who doesn't seem too keen on the "interim" bit -- said that he was in favour of signing Garcia now. Ronald Koeman is, too. And so Tusquets called the presidential candidates -- Victor Font, Toni Freixa and Joan Laporta, with the club's presidential election occurring on March 7 -- to get their OK before going ahead, because the financial situation does not allow them to take decisions like this lightly. (In truth, Tusquets shouldn't be taking them at all.)

A battle played out. Font said yes, Freixa said sign him now but for next season when he will be free, Laporta said no. Tusquets and Laporta exchanged accusatory letters, the latter already annoyed that elections had been postponed from their originally scheduled Jan. 24 date. But beyond that there is something very basic:

Garcia's cost is €3m, plus potentially another €3m in add-ons. He would cost Barcelona just €230,000 in this year's budget, Tusquets insisted. But it now looks like it won't happen.

Strip away the other elements -- whether this president should sign anyone, how he can propose a deal that postpones payments when that's part of what has put them in this mess in the first place, the interests of each of the candidates, why they would spend what might amount to €6m for six months on a 20-year-old defender they're going to get anyway -- and this is the bottom line: Barcelona cannot just sign a player for €230,000.

The new president will have to restructure the debts. He may have to seek new ones for short-term stability. They will go -- again -- to banks and investment funds. This summer, they will have to sell -- more headlines -- and sell big. And yet if there's one thing that makes selling hard, it's having to sell -- and everyone knowing it. It can be difficult enough saving on wages, let alone making money back. They have been here before.

As one agent put it last summer, "If I was a big European club, I'd wait until the deadline for Barcelona's accounts and then make a laughably small bid for their players; they'd have almost no choice and might bite." Nelson Semedo raised €40m, it is true, but Vidal, Ivan Rakitic, Luis Suarez, all of them left; Barcelona made just €1.5m up front. Coutinho didn't go at all. Nor did Lionel Messi. Economically, him doing so would have suited them, Tusquets admitted.

They'll try again with Coutinho. Antoine Griezmann, too, maybe Ousmane Dembele. Anyone they can, in short. But while the good news is the quality of the new generation -- any club would love to have De Jong, Pedri, Ansu Fati, Ronald Araujo, Sergino Dest -- it won't be easy. And signing players will be even harder. Just as it was last year: no Lautaro, no Depay, no Neymar.

As Messi put it: "How are they going to pay for him?" How can you buy Neymar when even €230,000 makes you think twice? How bad must things be?

Bad? Everything's just fine.

PHILADELPHIA - New Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said he "can't answer" whether quarterback Carson Wentz will be on the team in 2021, as he is in the process of "evaluating everything."

"What we need to do is evaluate the entire roster," Sirianni said at his introductory news conference Friday. "We have two quarterbacks in Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts that are top-notch quarterbacks. A lot of teams don't have any. So just really excited to work with both of them."

Sirianni added that he is not ready to say whether there will be an open competition at quarterback this offseason, and hasn't established a timeline for when he needs to choose his starter.

Wentz's relationship with the organization became strained during a 2020 season in which he led the league in interceptions (15) and sacks (50) and was benched in favor of Hurts for the final four games. He planned to ask for a trade this offseason because of a fractured relationship with coach Doug Pederson, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Pederson was fired on Jan. 11 after he and owner Jeffrey Lurie failed to align on a vision for the team moving forward.

Both Sirianni and offensive coordinator Shane Steichen have talked with Wentz over the past week. Sirianni said he couldn't speak to any issues between Wentz and the team but that he had a "good conversation" with Wentz.

Sirianni has also spoken with Hurts, the team's second-round pick in 2020 who gave the offense a spark when inserted to the lineup before cooling a bit down the stretch.

"The same conversation with him is that I'm really excited to work with him," Sirianni said. "We studied him last year, he had a great college tape. He played meaningful snaps this year that he played well in."

Still in the process of hiring assistant coaches and getting acclimated to his new role, Sirianni said he and his staff haven't dug into the game film yet, including film on the quarterbacks.

"Every position is going to be evaluated, and every position is going to be open," he said, "and we can't wait to start watching the tape and seeing what our players can do."

HOUSTON -- A day after it was reported that Deshaun Watson had requested a trade, new Houston Texans head coach David Culley said during his introductory news conference that he took the job knowing Watson was the Texans' quarterback.

"He's the quarterback of the Houston Texans, and that's all that I was concerned about," Culley said, when asked about his knowledge of Watson's status when he was interviewing for the job. "That's all I knew and whatever was being said about what he wanted to do or didn't want to do. All I know is this. ...

"He is a Houston Texan. And I wanted to be a Houston Texan. And the reason I'm in this position today is because I knew he's going to be a Houston Texan. The outside stuff that was being said is irrelevant to me."

Watson, who signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension in September, is under contract through the 2025 season. He has a no-trade clause, but given the length of his contract and the possibility of franchise-tagging him for three years, the Texans could choose not to trade him and would have control of his rights through the 2028 season.

Watson's trade request came after he was reportedly unhappy with the process used by the team to hire Nick Caserio in early January.

"Organizationally, just want to reiterate our commitment to Deshaun Watson," Caserio said. "He's had a great impact on this organization, a great impact on a lot of people, a great impact on this team, and we look forward for the opportunity to spend more time with him here this spring, once we get started.

"And we have zero interest in trading the player. We have a great plan, a great vision for him and for this team, and his role on this team, and we look forward to the opportunity to spend more time with him here this spring."

If the Texans choose not to trade Watson, he could opt not to report to mandatory team activities or training camp, but at a cost. Houston can fine Watson $95,877 for missing minicamp and can fine him $50,000 per day for each day of training camp missed plus one week's salary -- $620,000 -- for each preseason game missed. In the unlikely scenario that Watson chooses to retire, the Texans can collect $21.6 million.

Hall of Fame basketball coach John Chaney, a zone defense innovator who led Temple to 17 NCAA tournament appearances, has died at the age of 89.

The university said he died after a short, unspecified illness.

Chaney spent 24 seasons at Temple, beginning in 1982-83 -- the only season his Owls failed to reach the NCAA tournament or NIT. He went to the Elite Eight on five occasions, and Temple was ranked No. 1 for a stretch during the 1987-88 season, when the Owls finished 32-2 and went 18-0 in Atlantic 10 play.

Before taking over at Temple, Chaney spent 10 seasons at Cheyney State, a Division II program about 30 miles outside Philadelphia. He went to eight Division II tournaments and won the national championship in 1978.

"John Chaney was a great coach, but he was so much more. For generations of Temple University students, he was a wise counselor, a dedicated teacher, an icon of success, and a passionate leader who always led by example and with conviction," Temple president Richard M. Englert said in a statement. "I am also honored to say he was a dear friend.

Elected into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001 and the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006, Chaney won 516 games at Temple and 741 games overall. He still ranks among the top 40 college basketball coaches in career wins and was the first Black coach to reach 700 wins.

Chaney won the Henry Iba Award, given to the Coach of the Year by the United States Basketball Writers Association, back-to-back in 1987 and 1988.

"Many of my players came from environments where people said they couldn't do it," Chaney told The Athletic in 2019. "I came from an era where it could end before being fulfilled. You have to move into a better place, in our minds and for our future. So many of them were able to change who they were. They ended up being what Temple's statement has always been. Young acres of diamonds, right from the neighborhood, being told they could have the same kind of opportunity as everyone else."

On the court, Chaney was known for his matchup zone defense, a strategy that confounded opponents for decades and annually had Temple among the leaders in scoring defense.

"If a team has never faced a Temple zone, it's really difficult to see and have a proper attack for it the first time, because you don't know what defense is on," former Temple guard Quincy Wadley told The New York Times in 2001. "You think it's one defense the entire time, but it's not. It's several different defenses that we play."

Chaney, who was born Jan. 21, 1932, in Jacksonville, Florida, was a passionate coach on the sideline who had his share of incidents with opponents.

"I'm capable of being anything," Chaney told Sports Illustrated in 1994. "... I'm a person who can be out of control. Sometimes it's better to be crazy than intelligent."

Midway through Chaney's tenure at Temple, he had a budding intraconference rivalry with UMass and its coach at the time, John Calipari. After a 1994 game that Temple lost 56-55, Chaney became upset with the way Calipari treated the officials and interrupted Calipari's postgame news conference.

"Could I say this to you, please?" Chaney said, according to The New York Times. "You've got a good ballclub. But what you did with the officials out there is wrong, and I don't want to be a party to that. You understand?"

"You weren't out there, Coach," Calipari responded. "You don't have any idea."

After a few more back-and-forths, Chaney approached the podium and Calipari moved to confront Chaney.

"I'll kill you!" Chaney said, as UMass guard Mike Williams separated the two.

Chaney was suspended for one game by Temple and apologized a couple of days later. The two coaches later became friends.

Coach Chaney and I fought every game we competed - as everyone knows, sometimes literally - but in the end he was my friend. Throughout my career, we would talk about basketball and life. I will miss those talks and I will my friend. Rest in peace, Coach! pic.twitter.com/0JGcQ7JPOO

In 2005, Chaney was suspended after sending in a "goon" during a game against Saint Joseph's. He was upset the Hawks were setting what he considered illegal screens without fouls being called and subbed in Nehemiah Ingram, a 250-pound big man who later was a walk-on for the Temple football team.

According to Philadelphia Magazine, Chaney said the day before the game that he planned to send in "one of my goons and have him run through one of those guys and chop him in the neck or something."

Ingram was called for five fouls in four minutes.

"I'm sending a message," Chaney said after the game. "And I'm going to send in what we used to do years ago -- send in the goons. That's what I'm going to do."

After Saint Joseph's forward John Bryant was diagnosed with a broken arm from one of Ingram's fouls, Temple suspended Chaney for the rest of the regular season. The coach apologized to Bryant and reportedly offered to pay for his medical bills.

"John Chaney was more than just a Hall of Fame basketball coach. He was a Hall of Famer in life," Fran Dunphy, Chaney's successor after his retirement in 2006, said in a statement. "He touched countless lives, including my own. I will miss him dearly and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time."

Off the court, Chaney was a staunch advocate of helping poor adolescents better their lives through education.

"What entity has the right to play God?" Chaney asked in the 1994 Sports Illustrated profile. "You tellin' me the NCAA can decide who lives and who dies among Black folks? Education is food, it's heat, it's shelter! Who has the right to deprive anyone of that? I come from the earth! I know what I'm talkin' about! What choice are we givin' the kids who fail that SAT test? One choice! Back to the streets ... to a slow-legged death."

Current Temple men's basketball coach Aaron McKie played for Chaney from 1991 to 1994 and spoke glowingly of his former coach.

"Coach Chaney was like a father to me," McKie said in a statement. "He taught not just me, but all of his players more than just how to succeed in basketball. He taught us life lessons to make us better individuals off the court. I owe so much to him. He made me the man I am today."

In 2019, Chaney told The Athletic he wanted to be "remembered as someone who cared."

"What we need more of these days -- I don't care how you look at it -- is caring for others, whoever that is," Chaney said.

Temple next plays Sunday at home against Tulane (noon ET, ESPN+).
