🏀 La Salle's Fran Dunphy, who has won more than 600 games and made 17 NCAA Tournament appearances in 33 seasons as coach at three of Philadelphia's #Big5 schools, says he will retire at the end of the season.⁠ ⁠ The 76-year-old Dunphy will become special assistant to the president at La Salle. He will be honored as part of the Explorers’ game against Duquesne on Feb. 26.⁠ ⁠ Dunphy is ingrained in the Philadelphia hoops scene like few others. He played basketball at Philly high schools and went to games at the Palestra as a kid. He was co-captain under Tom Gola at La Salle and earned a master’s degree at Villanova.⁠ ⁠ Known as “Mr. Big 5,” his 623 wins are most by a coach in the history of the association of Philly schools that have played for city bragging rights since 1955.⁠ ⁠ “I will forever be thankful to La Salle as well as all my fellow coaches and players that I’ve been fortunate to work with throughout my coaching career,” Dunphy said.⁠ ⁠ Click link 🔗 in bio for more reactions...
