NEW | La Salle has hired Philly hoops legend Fran Dunphy as its next men's basketball head coach.
. “It gave me a chance to be a part of multiple teams as a student-athlete, an opportunity to form life-long friendships and helped mold me into the man I am today. I can’t wait to work with the young men on the team, reintroduce myself to the campus community and to help my alma mater any way I can.”
Dunphy comes back to La Salle after securing nearly 600 wins in his 30 years as a head coach at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University, and he’s coached 17 teams that made the NCAA Tournament over the course of his career.He last coached at Temple, taking over for Naismith Hall of Famer John Chaney in 2006 until the 2019 season. Dunphy moved into an interim athletic director position at Temple in 2020.
Dunphy began his head coaching career in Philly in 1989 at Penn. He won 10 Ivy League titles, recorded nine 20-win campaigns and won 310 games in his 17 years as Penn’s head coach. The 310 wins remain the most ever won by a Penn head coach. “During my time at La Salle, I have met many passionate alums who personify what it means to be an Explorer,” Vice President for Athletics & Recreation Brian Baptiste said. “Fran Dunphy is at the top of that list, and to be able to introduce him as the 20th head coach in La Salle men’s basketball history is an honor and privilege. In my conversations with Fran, he has made it clear that he still has a passion for coaching and a burning desire to help his alma mater.
