Fran Dunphy completed his 13th and final season at the helm of the Temple men's basketball program in 2018-19. The all-time winningest coach in Philadelphia Big 5 history, Dunphy was one of 25 active NCAA Division I coaches with 500 victories in his final season and is also just the fifth coach to win 200 games at two different Division I programs while also taking both schools to seven or more NCAA Tournaments.

A part of Big 5 Basketball for the last six decades, Dunphy was inducted into the Big 5 Hall of Fame in April, 2019.

Dunphy starred at La Salle as a player (1967-70) and served on the Explorer staff as an assistant coach before embarking on a 17-year stint as the head coach of the Penn Quakers (1989-06). He became the first person to serve as the head men's basketball coach at two Philadelphia Big 5 institutions when he took over the reins of the Temple program from Hall of Fame coach John Chaney on April 10, 2006.

His overall record stands at 580-325 which includes 18 20-win seasons, 17 NCAA Tournament appearances, 14 conference championships, eight Big 5 titles and one NIT trip.
