La Salle men's basketball coach Fran Dunphy, the winningest coach in Philadelphia Big 5 history, announced on Thursday that he will retire from his position at the end of the 2024-25 season.
Dunphy, 76, will transition to the role of special assistant to the president at La Salle, his alma mater, agreeing to a lifetime contract for that role.
"I will forever be thankful to La Salle as well as all my fellow coaches and players that I've been fortunate to work with throughout my coaching career," Dunphy said. "I am looking forward to finishing this season strong with our team, and as I embark on the next chapter of my life, I could not be happier to stay at La Salle and work with President Allen, [athletic director] Ash Puri, and this great University that I call home.
