Fran Dunphy was the last in line for pre-game handshakes as an assistant with LaSalle. UNC coach Dean Smith said, “Have a good game, Fran." "The whole half I’m sitting there thinking, ‘How the heck does he know my name?’ He studied the press guide. I’ve done the same now for years. It doesn’t have the impact Dean had on me, but it’s a bit of a touch that separates you from the rest of the group." (Philly Voice)
