Reports: Temple set to replace Dunphy in 2019

PHILADELPHIA -- Temple's Fran Dunphy is set to coach one more season and then step aside for assistant and former Philadelphia 76ers star Aaron McKie to succeed him in 2019, according to multiple reports.

McKie reportedly is set to coach his alma mater after one more season under Dunphy.

Dunphy took over for retired Hall of Fame coach John Chaney in 2006 and has led the Owls to seven NCAA tournaments. The Owls, who play in the American Athletic Conference, missed the postseason last season and were bounced in the first round of the NIT this year.
