I received the following e-mail from Peter Ensel this morning...

I know many of you had interactions with Larry Cowan during your time at PSU. So, it's with great sorrow that I tell you of his death. Larry passed away Thursday in Missouri where he had been working as Vice President of Development at Central Missouri University. At Plattsburgh, Larry was a long time basketball coach and later, worked as Athletic Director and Director of Athletic and Corporate giving. In 2002 he left Plattsburgh to become Assistant VP of Development at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. before moving to Missouri last year.
Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Coach Cowan, of course, was coaching the men's basketball team when PSTV first started carrying the games. He was also a frequent guest on Cardinal Sports, Sports Rap and other PSTV programs.
