4.8.19 | Men's Basketball
PHILADELPHIA - Fran Dunphy, who guided Temple men's basketball to 270 wins in his 13-year tenure, has been named the recipient of the 2019 Gene Bartow Award.  The Gene Bartow Award is presented annually to a current or former coach for his contributions to the game. It measures a coach's win-loss record and also the impact he has made on his players, school and community.
Dunphy, who stepped down as the Owls' coach following the 2018-19 season, earlier this year received the Dean Smith Award presented by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association and the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Good Guy Award. He was honored by many of Temple's opponents during the season for his contributions to the sport.
The all-time winningest coach in Philadelphia Big 5 history with 580 victories, Dunphy has led Temple to 10 postseason appearances, including eight trips to the NCAA Tournament. In his 13 seasons at the Owls' helm, he compiled a 270-162 overall record. He led the Cherry and White to three conference championships and three regular season titles. Â
Prior to his arrival at Temple, Dunphy compiled a 310-163 record in 17 seasons at the Penn while taking the Quakers to nine NCAA Tournaments. A 1970 La Salle University graduate, Dunphy is the all-time winningest coach at Penn and ranks third on Temple's all-time coaching win list.
Dunphy is also just the fifth coach to win 200 at two different Division I programs while also taking both schools to six or more NCAA Tournaments. He is joined by Lou Henson (New Mexico, Illinois), Rick Pitino (Kentucky, Louisville), Eddie Sutton (Arkansas, Oklahoma State) and Roy Williams (Kansas, North Carolina) in this elite club.
A full-time educator on and off the court, Dunphy is in his 12th year teaching in Temple's prestigious Fox School of Business. He team-teaches an honors course with Dr. Lynne Anderson, entitled, Management, Theory & Practice: From the Locker Room to the Board Room. He previously had served as a lecturer in the Wharton Executive Education program and in the management department of the Wharton School.
One of the leaders in the local Coaches vs. Cancer campaign, Dunphy was named to the National Council of Coaches vs. Cancer. He was also honored as the 2002 National Coaches vs. Cancer Coach of the Year for his service and tireless dedication to those in need.Â
The Owl mentor also devotes time to Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Greater Philadelphia's Board of Directors, and his Penn and Temple teams have participated in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program each year. He is also a member of the Philadelphia CYO Hall of Fame.
