In an opinion piece, B.G. Kelley lauded Temple men's basketball coach Fran Dunphy, praising him for demanding responsibility from his players and encouraging them to graduate — even at the cost of his famous mustache, which he shaved after promising a former Owls star that he would do so if the player returned to Temple to finish his degree. "Dunphy has been a vigilant caretaker of the long-standing philosophy of the Temple basketball program: If the education is good, the program will be good and the basketball will be good."
