Killings connects MU program with high-level recruits, NCAA committee

Ask about Marquette men’s basketball assistant coach Dwayne Killings, and the same word comes to mind for the boss who hired him in 2018, the boss who hired him in 2006 and another of his current colleagues: connector.

“He’s a terrific connector in so many ways,” said Fran Dunphy, who retired in 2019 after 13 seasons as head coach at Temple University and 51 seasons involved in Philadelphia basketball. “Not only in the recruiting process, which is always helpful. … It’s invaluable.”

One doesn’t have to look far to see those connections on display in Killings’ second season on Fiserv Forum’s sidelines.
