GFS hires new boys’ basketball coach

by TOM UTESCHER

William Dooley of Warrington has been hired as the Head Coach of the Germantown Friends School Boys’ Varsity Basketball Team.

“Bill brings both the high level experience and the energy to the program that we were looking for. His coaching credentials speak for themselves and I couldn’t be happier to have him on board,” remarked GFS Boys’ Athletic Director Tom Myran of Chestnut Hill.

Coach Dooley is a graduate of the University of Richmond where he earned a B.A. in economics and a Master’s degree in sports management and administration. He played college basketball for the University of Richmond and later became an assistant coach for the Spiders for eight years. In 1993, he was appointed head coach for the University of Richmond, a post he held until 1997.

Since 1997, Coach Dooley has been the head coach at Delaware Valley College, head basketball coach and director of coaching for the Irish National Team, and most recently assistant basketball coach at LaSalle University.

Committed to the Philadelphia area, Coach Dooley is looking forward to building the program at GFS and to being part of the dynamic GFS community that he has heard so much about.

William Dooley lives in Warrington with his wife, Clare, and their two children.
