Dunphy to Coach 2018-19 Season; Aaron McKie Named as Successor

PHILADELPHIA - Temple University head men's basketball coach Fran Dunphy will remain through the 2018-19 season, and current assistant coach and Temple alumnus Aaron McKie will succeed Dunphy in that role, Temple President Richard M. Englert and Director of Athletics Patrick Kraft announced today.

Dunphy has led the Owls since 2006, winning four conference championships and being named conference Coach of the Year four times during his tenure. He is a teacher on and off the court, having co-taught a business course for 10 years.

"There is no better illustration of excellence and integrity—and there's no better ambassador for Temple—than Fran Dunphy," Englert said.
