The West Coast Conference family is devastated by the sudden passing of University of San Francisco Director of Athletics Larry Williams. Our thoughts and prayers are with Larry’s wife, Laura, and family, and the entire university community during this very difficult time. Larry exemplified tremendous leadership and enthusiasm throughout his long-standing service to the West Coast Conference. A graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law, he served as the Director of Athletics at the University of Portland in addition to his extraordinary stewardship at the University of San Francisco.
 
West Coast Conference Commissioner Stu Jackson
“Larry was a nationally respected colleague whose leadership benefited collegiate athletics and countless student-athletes. Larry was beloved by everyone and we are grateful for his commitment and legacy to the conference. His life and lasting professional impact will be remembered with admiration.”
