The UConn and college athletics world is mourning the loss of Dee Rowe. The 91-year-old former men’s basketball coach at UConn died early Sunday morning, according to the university.
Rowe’s coaching career spanned 21 years at Worcester Academy and UConn, where he compiled a 300-132 record. As highly as Rowe was thought of as a coach, his contributions were likely even more impactful.
