| 释义 |
O'Brien was athletic director at Long Beach State from 1989 to 1996 and oversaw two major moves: cutting the football program in 1991 and building the Walter Pyramid, the basketball arena which opened in 1994.[3] During O'Brien's tenure at Temple (1996-2002), the Temple Owls' men's basketball team went 135-65 and made it to the NCAA Basketball Tournament in five of six seasons under head coach John Chaney. The team advanced to the Elite Eight in 1999 and 2001. The football team struggled and was voted out of the Big East Conference shortly before O'Brien resigned from Temple in January 2002.[4] At Northeastern from 2002–07, O'Brien was responsible for hiring current men's basketball coach Bill Coen, women's basketball coach Daynia La-Force,[5] former football coach Rocky Hager and former men's ice hockey coach Greg Cronin.[6] The school announced a move from the America East Conference to the Colonial Athletic Association in 2004.[7] After O'Brien left Northeastern in 2007, the school cut the football team following the 2009 season.[8] O'Brien was a graduate of Moravian College and Seton Hall Law School.[9] O'Brien died on March 1, 2014 at the age of 57 at his home in Lower Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, of cancer.[10] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://collegesportsbusinessnews.com/author/david-o-brien|title=College Sports Business News - The Publication for College Sports Administrators|work=collegesportsbusinessnews.com}} {{Temple Owls athletic director navbox}}{{Northeastern Huskies athletic director navbox}}{{DEFAULTSORT:OBrien, Dave}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.obriensportsgroup.com/about.htm |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2012-12-21 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20130131002454/http://www.obriensportsgroup.com/about.htm |archivedate=2013-01-31 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1995-09-28/sports/sp-50923_1_long-beach|title=LONG BEACH STATE NOTEBOOK / JASON REID : Pyramid's Success May Help Football Return to the Field|work=latimes}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://articles.philly.com/2002-01-22/sports/25343698_1_temple-job-temple-university-dave-o-brien|title=O'Brien stepping down as Temple athletic director No quarrel was apparent, but the Owls' AD had been a supporter of big-time football at the school.|work=philly-archives}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.boston.com/sports/colleges/mens_basketball/articles/2006/04/15/northeastern_basketball_nets_pair/?page=full|title=Northeastern basketball nets pair|work=boston.com}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.uscho.com/2005/04/12/cronin-introduced-at-northeastern/|title=Cronin Introduced at Northeastern|work=USCHO.com}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/college/2004-06-23-caa-northeastern_x.htm|title=USATODAY.com - Northeastern agrees to join Colonial Athletic Association|work=usatoday.com}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/ncf/news/story?id=4681701|title=Northeastern cuts 74-year-old football program|work=ESPN.com}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://goodwin.drexel.edu/profiles/Dave_OBrien.php|title=Goodwin College of Professional Studies - Goodwin College of Professional Studies - Drexel University|work=Goodwin College of Professional Studies}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://articles.philly.com/2014-03-05/news/47938411_1_athletic-director-late-son-college-athletics |title=David O'Brien, college sports chief - philly-archives |publisher=Articles.philly.com |date=2013-07-21 |accessdate=2015-08-06}} 11 : 1956 births|2014 deaths|Drexel University faculty|Long Beach State 49ers athletic directors|Northeastern Huskies athletic directors|Temple Owls athletic directors|Moravian College alumni|Seton Hall University School of Law alumni|People from Montclair, New Jersey|People from Lower Gwynedd Township, Pennsylvania|Deaths from cancer in Pennsylvania |
