Chandler was president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches Association in 1938 and was instrumental in forming the NCAA Basketball Tournament. As one of Chicago's best prep basketball players at Waller High School, he would continue playing his collegiate basketball as a center at [[UW-Madison]], for legendary coach, Doc Meanwell. During World War I, he played with George Halas and Paddy Driscoll at Great Lakes. Chandler would later coach at UW-River Falls, [[Iowa State]] and [[UW-Madison]] before becoming MU’s fourth basketball coach in 1931.

 Chandler's teams faltered late in his career at Marquette, averaging just eight wins per year over his final five seasons.  None of those squads were able to break into double digits in the win column during that time.  The decline in Chandler's success could be attributed at least in part, to the rise in popularity of basketball in the country during that time and Chandler's refusal to adjust to the changes in the college game.
