Temple Basketball’s Fran Dunphy Should Be Only Choice for AAC Coach Of Year

Twenty-game winners among coaches in college basketball are about as rare as 20-game-winning pitchers in MLB.

To get to that level is considered elite in both sports, but to get to it 80 percent of the time is another stratosphere and that’s exactly what Temple basketball’s Fran Dunphy has done in his 10 years at the Philadelphia school. With a 20-10 record this season, Dunphy has posted his eighth season of at least 20 wins for the Owls and, this year, he might have done his best job so far in a season that is not over yet.
