As you know by now, Virginia Tech power forward Allan Chaney was refused
medical clearance to play basketball by the school on Wednesday. This was the
decision we have been expecting for the last few months. It’s a tough break for
Chaney and the Hokies, but at least we finally have some closure.

By all accounts, Chaney is one of the best guys to ever be a part of the Tech
basketball program. He could be bitter about the decision, but he’s not. He had
this to say, via Twitter.

“Well I must say that I am disappointed,” Chaney tweeted,”
but Tech has done everything for me through this process and they still are!
I will play somewhere!”

I sincerely hope Chaney does get to play college basketball somewhere. I hope
his heart never gives him trouble again, and he’s able to make money playing
ball professionally. He’s a good person, he’s been through things that no guy
his age should have to go through, and it would be a shame if he isn’t able to
put his talents to use.
