PHILADELPHIA - The 11th Annual Friends of Bill Raftery Golf Outing will be held at North Hills Country Club on Monday, June 17, 2013 and will celebrate the 2012-13 La Salle men's basketball team and its run to the "Sweet 16". ESPN and CBS college basketball analyst Bill Raftery `63 will once again serve as Honorary Chairman for the Golf Outing. The outing will honor Bill "Speedy" Morris for his 15 seasons of service as the head men's basketball coach at La Salle. The outing is coordinated by the "Friends of Bill Raftery" Golf Committee, in collaboration with the La Salle Athletic Development. Funds raised during the golf outing directly benefit the La Salle men's basketball program.
La Salle University welcomes back Speedy Morris as this year's honoree. Speedy compiled a school record 238 wins and reached the postseason six times, including four NCAA appearances. His best season came in 1989-90, when he and National Player of the Year Lionel Simmons led La Salle to a 30-2 record and a number-12 ranking in the final Associated Press poll.
