He was a good coach. Got them as far as they could go. I forgot how successful we were as a regional program under Greer. Of course it was Calhoun who changed the trajectory. But as a kid when Rowe was coach and we had few good teams with Tony and Thomas they already had a strong fan base from what Greer had accomplished his winning pct was .719 second only to JC .720. I mean the program won like 12 out of 14 conference championships. The year he passed during the season the team made it to the elite 8. I did some research and again taking nothing away from Calhoun personally I was a UConn die hard fan starting 1970. I remember being devastated when Hofstra was killing us in a ncaa tourney game and giving up. I was outside in my yard shooting baskets when my best friend heard the ball bouncing and came out to tell me we were making a comeback and about to win. From that day on UConn became my passion. 50 years later nothing has changed and Dee Rowe was the coach at the time.
