Temple: Temple Keeps It Brotherly



Temple Keeps It Brotherly: Temple officials looked west down Market Street to fellow Philly program Penn to choose a successor to Hall of Fame coach John Chaney, who retired at the age of 74 after the Owls finished 17-15. The Quakers’ Fran Dunphy accepted the position in one of the least surprising coaching moves of the season. Temple had been openly courting Dunphy for weeks. As Penn’s coach since 1989, Dunphy led the Quakers to a 310-163 record, 10 Ivy League championships and nine NCAA Tournament appearances. The Quakers finished 20-9 this past season and lost to No. 2 Texas in the first round of the tournament. [4/10/06]
