[edit] 724 or 741?

Both ESPN and The Washington Post articles list Chaney as having 741 wins.

ESPN states: "Chaney has 741 wins as a college coach, including a 516-252 record at Temple, where he won seven Atlantic 10 conference titles. His teams did remarkably well considering Chaney couldn't recruit the high school All-Americans who filled the rosters of the power conferences." http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2366357

The Post article states (or at least implies) that these were all D1: "Chaney coached Temple to a 516-252 record, and his 741 victories overall rank fifth among active Division I coaches behind Arizona's Lute Olson, Oklahoma State's Eddie Sutton, Texas Tech's Bob Knight and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and 11th all-time." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/13/AR2006031300559.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.100.247.101 (talk) 13:47, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
