Fran Dunphy Achieves 600th Career Win as La Salle's Coach

The 75-year-old coach, who came out of retirement last season, is now the 43rd NCAA Division I coach to reach this milestone.

  • Fran Dunphy, the coach of La Salle's men's basketball team, has achieved his 600th career win with an 81-62 victory over Coppin State.
  • Dunphy, 75, is the 43rd NCAA Division I coach to win 600 games, with 310 wins at Penn from 1989 to 2006, 270 at Temple from 2006 to 2019, and 20 at La Salle.
  • Dunphy was coaxed out of retirement last season to lead La Salle, where he served as co-captain and helped the Explorers to a 23-1 record in 1969.
  • Dunphy's next game will be a significant one as it will be his first trip back to Temple as La Salle's coach, where he spent 13 seasons.
  • Despite his milestone, Dunphy remains focused on the future, with his mind on La Salle's next game and improving the team's performance.
