The Chaney Pod starts with the people who knew him best - his son, John Chaney, Jr., and his daughter-in-law, Maria Chaney. Beyond his life as a Hall of Fame college basketball coach and educator, John Chaney was a great family man - and a good cook, too. thechaneypod.com/p/episode-1…

岡田大河選手に、海外に挑戦する理由などについて伺った一問一答記事です。 「僕は王道を進んだことがない。肯定されたことがない」と話しながらも「自分次第」と挑戦を続ける岡田選手。厳しい状況を楽しいと思える正真正銘の挑戦者です。

RIP, Coach.
We are saddened to hear the passing of legendary #HawaiiFB Coach June Jones today. He is UH’s winningest head coach with 76 wins, the master in the Run and Shoot Offense and a great mentor and teacher of the game. Coach Jones was 73 years old. Rest in Aloha.
