The notion that "... proven to be a great fund raiser" to describe Dee Rowe would be laughed at by my Dad's friend - former Siena coach Billy Kirsch. And on and on. See ... it isn't just the coaching. Whomever was the AD during our Big East entrance and then who hired Auriemma and Calhoun, Rowe was the backbone of why UConn was notable. YEAH yeah ... Worcester Academy. But Gavitt and Tommy Heinsohn and Bob Cousy and Joe Mullaney and Jack Kraft: WE were part of the movement upward because Rowe's presence. Not by having a Dairy Bar. [/QUOTE]
