Daily News | Can Fran Dunphy lead La Salle back to college basketball relevance?
To understand the depth of the challenge that Fran Dunphy faces as the new men’s basketball coach at La Salle, all you need to do is listen to him talk about his decision to accept the job.
Financial issues at the university level have led an already small athletic department to contract even further, complicating efforts to invest in a basketball program whose arena and facilities rank among the smallest in Division I. While a $6.2 million posthumous alumni gift earmarked for a new home court has raised hopes of renovating the 3,400-seat Tom Gola Arena, La Salle is less than two years removed from eliminating seven scholarship sports in a cost-cutting measure.
“We’re gonna need everybody,” Dunphy said. “Listen, this is a daunting task that we all have to be a part of. It’s a team. The alums, those people who have been around La Salle a long time, I need them. I need the students of today to come to the games and support our guys in each and every game that we play ... I want as many La Salle people to say, ‘You know what, we can do this. We can arrive.’ Whether or not somebody thinks that I’m a rallying point, I’ll try my best. That’s all I can do.
