Fran Dunphy Featured On Lexy's Starting 5 Lexycasts
3.15.10 | Men's Basketball
PHILADELPHIA – Temple University head coach Fran Dunphy is one of five head coaches being featured on Lexy's “Starting 5” Lexycasts, a new technology platform providing behind-the-scenes insight on this year's post-season NCAA Tournament.
In his fourth-year at the helm, Dunphy guided the Owls to their third-straight Atlantic 10 Tournament title, being named the 2010 A-10 Coach of the Year and NABC District Coach of the Year along the way. This season, the Temple mentor also led the Owls to their first A-10 regular season championship since 2002 and the third most wins in program history with a 29-5 overall mark.
Temple is making its 28th appearance in the NCAA Tournament this week as the fifth-seed in the East Region. The Owls are ranked 12th in the Associated Press and 13th ESPN/USA Today, its first national ranking since 2001. Picked tied for fifth in the preseason poll, the Owls have been among the Top 25 in both polls for 12 straight weeks.
Joining him in the “Starting 5” team are head coaches John Calipari of the University of Kentucky, Jim Boeheim of Syracuse University and Bob Huggins of West Virginia University. The fifth member of the “Starting 5” will be a rotating lineup of NCAA basketball 'Lexycasters' who will offer their unique opinions and information during the post-season.
Lexycasts are authentic, interactive, timely audio posts, usually one to three minutes that can be published to any mobile phone and anywhere on the internet, including Twitter, Facebook and other social networks. Mobile followers are alerted to new posts via text message and then make a simple phone call to listen and leave comments.
