Hey JB,

Well I can't give you credit because I wasn't sure whether you meant John
Cheaney, Calbert Cheaney, or Don Chaney :-)

Seriously though, the Duck was a defensive specialist who may be able to
coax a bit of effort from a team at that end anyway.  I just brought his
name up because nobody every mentioned him.  And he was coach of the year
with the Rockets I think.  Additionally, we would steal a key component from
the Knicks.
