With the Final Four in the rear view mirror, the folks in Philly have resumed the Who will replace Fran Dunphy game if he takes the Temple job. Kevin Tatum of the rounds up the usual suspects, beginning with Lafayette's Fran O'Hanlon.
Tatum's top four also includes current Penn assistant Dave Duke. Folks who remember Duke's teams when he was head coach at Lehigh have to scratch their heads at that suggestion. Current Lehigh coach Billy Taylor is on Tatum's "others worth a look" list.
