The one and only John Chaney appeared on Comcast SportsNet’s Daily News Live on Christmas Eve, and, as usual, the legendary former Temple coach still had lots to say on lots of topics. Among other things, it’s obvious Chaney doesn’t like Republicans very much, according to the blog Crossing Broad. After the jump, we’ll pass along a few rather hilariously enlightening excerpts.

And away we go…

Discussing current coach Fran Dunphy’s mentality:

Chaney: He is too nice [off the court]. He needs to go beat up a Republican or something.

Dunphy’s coaching?

Chaney: When a kid makes a bad turnover, he needs to grab him and choke him!

Yikes.

Clearly Chaney knows his basketball, and I can’t tell if these comments are meant amuse or frighten. It’s probably somewhere in the middle. His analysis of the departure of Andre Miller was spot on, he said you need a true point guard to win, and that the Sixers were foolish to try to turn Lou Williams into one.

Allen Iverson?

Chaney: When an apple is on a tree, it’s green, when it falls off, it turns brown. Once an apple turns brown, it never turns back.

An amazingly simple and poignant analogy.

Crossing Broad concludes its entry with a video in which Chaney calls Tiger Woods’ ball sexy. You really do have to see it for yourself.
