What a Jerk. In post game interview of the Championship game he said he "pulled back on the reins in the second half since he wanted his team to get out of here alive."
John Chaney had it right all those years ago <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/r6jUpHClybQ" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Terry, I didn't watch the video, but I recall that incident. I believe it happened in a press conference. Cheney broke in while Calipari was talking, and yelled at him about something (can't remember what). Calipari said something (can't remember what) that incited Cheney to make that angry threat as they approached each other. Several people got between them and diffused what could have been an even uglier scene than it was.
Has to be some background to that Sid, otherwise why would Chaney break into a Calapari press conference and confront him.
here's a history of the conflict: http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/feb/23/caliparis-greatest-coaching-feuds/
