In response to Quakers03
My opinion is shared by two message boards of Temple fans. Feel free to look for yourself. There's a very short list of Temple fans still defending Dunphy.
He has had talent. He does a good job of developing talent, or at least had until the last couple years. Now imagine what he could do if he had assistants who could recruit instead of Dave Duke.
Never said he hasn't had success. He's just failed miserably in the NCAA Tournament. John Giannini, who is a terrible coach has made the Sweet Sixteen. It's unfathomable to not reach the Sweet Sixteen once in 12 years with Temple's resources. 21 wins and a first round Tournament loss isn't good enough.
You are right about coaching. Very rarely does he make in-game adjustments. He's also very stubborn about lineups and upper classmen. It's pretty obvious to us that our best lineup is a small lineup with at least two of our freshmen Obi starting at the 5 instead of the 4, but he's trotted out the same losing lineup every game with the exception of when Q Rose was benched for being late to practice or film study whatever it was.
Fran hasn't been able to take non-qualifiers since maybe his first or second year here. The AAC does not allow it. That's not a good excuse for him not landing a single 4* recruit in 12 years.
