Francis Brian O'Hanlon (born August 24, 1948) is a retired American college basketball coach who was the head men's basketball coach at Lafayette College from 1995 to 2022.

Formative years

Born in Philadelphia, on August 24, 1948, O'Hanlon was a 1970 graduate of Villanova University, where he played college basketball, including during a 1970 NCAA Tournament basketball game against Saint Bonaventure in which Bob Lanier was tripped up and injured in a collision with Chris Ford.

Professional career

O'Hanlon played professional basketball for the Miami Floridians of the ABA in the 1970–71 season despite being a Philadelphia 76ers draft pick in the 8th round of the 1970 NBA draft. He was the only Floridians player whose surname on the back of his jersey didn't need to be embellished with an O' prefix in a publicity stunt for the first game of a Saint Patrick's Day doubleheader versus the Utah Stars at Madison Square Garden in 1971. O'Hanlon played in the Eastern Basketball Association for the Trenton / Hamilton Pat Pavers and Cherry Hill Pros from 1971 to 1975. From 1975 to 1982, O'Hanlon played overseas with Hageby Basket in Sweden.

O'Hanlon was appointed to succeed John Leone as the 21st head coach in Lafayette Leopards men's basketball history on March 13, 1995. He announced on January 21, 2022 his retirement following the conclusion of his 27th season with the Leopards. His final game was an 82–81 overtime home loss to Bucknell at Kirby Sports Center in the Patriot League tournament first round on March 1.
