PHILADELPHIA - Terrence Stewart, who played 12 seasons overseas and was the 1996 Final Four Most Valuable Player at Rowan University, has been named the men's basketball video coordinator at La Salle, head coach Dr. John Giannini announced today.

"Terrence was a truly great player and would have had a great impact on nearly any program," Giannini said. "He was an outstanding leader as a student-athlete and then had a long and successful professional playing career. He will help our video program, but most of all he gives us another mature person with great values to help guide our student-athletes on a daily basis."

Stewart most recently spent five seasons in Spain. He also played in France, Germany, Ukraine, Israel, Argentina, Venezuela, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic after graduating from Rowan in 1996.

While playing for Giannini at Rowan, Stewart graduated as the school's all-time scoring leader with 1,628 points, a record that stood until 2008. A local product, Stewart earned all-city honors from the Philadelphia Daily News as a senior at Engineering and Science in 1992.

He made his coaching debut last season as the head coach for the East Coast Elite 17U team.
