05/05/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Temple University head football coach Al Golden and head men's basketball coach Fran Dunphy received lengthy contract extensions on Wednesday.
For Golden, it is a five-year extension, while Dunphy was the recipient of an eight-year pact.
"We are very pleased to be able to reach new long-term agreements that will keep Fran Dunphy and Al Golden in charge of our most visible programs," said Temple director of athletics Bill Bradshaw.
Golden, 40, has been Temple's head coach since the 2006 season and steadily built up the program. This past season the Owls went 9-4, achieving their first winning season since 1990 and first bowl appearance since 1979 -- the EagleBank Bowl at Washington D.C. in December -- where they fell to UCLA.
"I'm thrilled for our staff, and most especially our student-athletes, for the opportunity to continue our commitment of making our football program a vital component of the Temple community, support the mission of the university and to strengthen the Temple brand on a national scale," Golden stated.
Overall, he has compiled a 19-30 record that includes a 15-9 mark in the Mid American Conference, which Temple joined in 2007.
Prior to joining the Owls, he was the defensive coordinator at Virginia and also held coaching positions at Penn State, his alma mater, as well as Boston College.
The 61-year-old Dunphy finished his fourth season at the helm by guiding the Owls to a 29-6 overall record -- best since John Chaney's 1999-2000 squad finished 27-6 -- that included the school's first regular-season Atlantic 10 title since 2002, a third consecutive conference playoff title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
"I am very thankful for the opportunity to continue to serve as the Temple University men's basketball coach," Dunphy said. "The past four years have been special and my staff and I are already looking forward to the 2010-11 season."
Since taking the reins from Chaney for the 2006-07 season, Dunphy has gone 84-49 (42-22 in the A-10) and reached the NCAA tourney three times. This run of success followed his 17-year stint at the University of Pennsylvania, which saw the Quakers win or tie for the Ivy League crown on 10 occasions between 1989-2006.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend. Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July. Also, be sure to check out all of the lines and props for All-Star weekend. With the highest credit card acceptance rate in the industry, there are plenty of ways to cash in on the NBA this weekend.
