That was a classic, a few years later Squid (Calamari) showed the world what a low life scum he is. I haven't liked the man since like 1996, when he tried to throw UConn under the bus to deflect attention away from his UMass program which was about to be sanctioned

Never saw such behavior before or after from a college coach

Goodspeed John Chaney
