The world said goodbye to a great man and UConn legend on Sunday with the passing of former coach and longtime Huskies ambassador, Dee Rowe. His impact on UConn athletics has been immense, having played a pivotal role in the university receiving its invitation to be a founding member of the original Big East, the hirings of both Geno Auriemma and Jim Calhoun, raising funds to build Gampel Pavilion, and so many other momentous moments in UConn sports history.
To honor Coach Rowe’s legacy at UConn, we’ve dedicated this edition of The Fast Break in his memory.
