The American squad maintained a No. 1 world ranking and compiled an impressive overall record of (.864) during his me as coach. Addi onally, the team won every major interna onal tournament: the 1985 World Cup, the 1986 World Championships, the 1987 Pan American Games and, most importantly, the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. Since then, he has been an assistant coach for the men s team at the 2000 Olympics and a consultant coach at the 1996, 2004 and 2008 Olympics.

Nineteen of his Pepperdine volleyball players have represented the U.S. Na onal Team, with 10 taking part in the Olympics. In 1994, Dunphy was formally recognized for his immense contribu on to the sport, as he was inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame in Holyoke, Mass.

A na ve of nearby Topanga Canyon, Dunphy was a middle blocker at Pepperdine during the sport s forma ve years at the intercollegiate level and earned a bachelor s degree in kinesiology from the university in A er comple ng his athle cs eligibility, Dunphy con nued his affilia on with the Pepperdine program, serving as an assistant coach to both Harlan Cohen and Burt DeGroot before assuming the head coaching du es in The following season, Dunphy led Pepperdine to its first-ever NCAA team championship, as the Waves upended UCLA in five games in Columbus, Ohio, to win the na onal crown. Dunphy, who earned a master s degree in physical educa on from USC in 1978, le Pepperdine following the 1978 championship season to obtain his doctorate degree in the same subject area at Brigham Young University. Dunphy completed work for his doctorate in 1981, and then returned to Pepperdine that fall to quickly elevate the program back to na onal tle conten on. Pepperdine advanced to the NCAA tle match in 1983 and 1984, but the Waves were beaten on both occasions by crosstown foe UCLA. However, the de turned for the fabled Malibu Roofing Company in 1985, as Pepperdine rolled to an impressive 25-2 record -- s ll ed as the best single-season mark in school history -- and defeated USC in four games at Pauley Pavilion to capture the NCAA tle. The victory proved to be a perfect farewell gi to Dunphy, who took a leave of absence following the 1985 season to immediately begin working with the U.S. Na onal Team at its San Diego base. Under Dunphy s watchful eye, the American squad gained interna onal a en on, and the 12-man roster (which included former Pepperdine standouts Craig Buck, Bob Ctvrtlik, Jeff Stork and Troy Tanner, three of whom were starters) won the gold medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. Pepperdine captured its third NCAA championship in 1986 without him, but Dunphy returned to the head coaching posi on in November The Waves reached the pinnacle in 1992, as the team upset Long Beach State to win the MPSF Tournament and then captured its fourth NCAA crown with an impressive three-game sweep of top-ranked Stanford in Muncie, Ind. In 1998, Pepperdine compiled an impressive 23-5 mark and won the MPSF Tournament with a four-game victory over UCLA at Pauley Pavilion. Unfortunately, UCLA gained its revenge in the NCAA tle match, defea ng Pepperdine in three games. During the 1999 campaign the Waves notched a solid 20-5 mark and senior outside hi er George Roumain was tabbed the AVCA Na onal Player of the Year for the second consecu ve season. Roumain was a member of the 2000 Olympic Team along with former Pepperdine players Kevin Barne and Chip McCaw.
