Four Coaches With > 200 Wins and 6 NCAA Tourneys at 2 Different Schools
Fran Dunphy has had only one Top 20 team in 27 seasons of coaching (Temple in 2009-10), but he is in exclusive company. Dunphy, who was bench boss for Penn 17 years prior to joining the Owls, is one of only four Division I mentors compiling more than 200 victories and at least seven NCAA Tournament appearances with two different universities.
"I've just been coaching a long time," said a modest Dunphy, who could join Roy Williams as the only coaches with 300 triumphs for two DI schools if he maintains the same success rate five more campaigns with the Owls. Following is an alphabetical list of Dunphy, Williams and the two other coaches in this select circle (Rick Pitino made six straight NCAA playoff appearances with Kentucky in the mid-1990s):
