Sidney Lowe

From a story by J.P. Giglio in the Raleigh News & Observer: N.C. State head coach Sidney Lowe resigned Tuesday, ending his tenure at his alma mater.

The popular former Wolfpack player, who was captain of the 1983 national title team, upgraded the program’s talent the last two seasons but couldn’t move out of the bottom third of the conference standings or into the NCAA tournament. In five seasons under Lowe, N.C. State failed to...Read Full Story

The Jazz have added to their coaching staff by hiring Sidney Lowe as an assistant.  He was a player in the NBA, teammate of another Jazz coach, Tyrone Corbin, and he’s actually a very good coach.  He just didn’t have the easiest time turning around North Carolina State.  It was his alma mater, but it was something that was going to be a very difficult project. So, he’s back in the NBA to see if he can become a coach that can be promoted to other teams.  Personally, I’m not sure if he wanted...Read Full Story

Posted by CoHoops DeAnte Mitchell The NC State Wolfpack signed Sidney Lowe to be their Head Coach in 2006. In his first season, he led the Wolfpack to a (20-16) record, the ACC Championship title game, and a NIT Berth. It was all a step-down from what NC State achieved the season before.  The following year, the Wolfpack didn’t achieve a winning record and ended the season on a nine-game losing streak. It wasn't like they had scrubs on their team either. NC State was...Read Full Story

By Marcus Shockley Sidney Lowe has been feeling the pressure. It is, unfortunately, the very same pressure that built to the point that it sent Lowe’s predecessor, Herb Sendek, to the desert clime of Arizona State, even after several years of making the NCAA Tournament. It’s the pressure of two major basketball powerhouses within minutes of NC State’s campus in Raleigh. Duke and North Carolina aren’t just tough competition. Considering that the school own the last two national...Read Full Story

C.J. Leslie (PF, 6’9″, 2010), originally committed to coach Sidney Lowe and the Wolfpack in 2007. It was a big recruiting deal for coach Lowe to grab the hometown player, where the Wolfpack recently watched fellow Raleigh phenom John Wall bolt for Kentucky and one-and-done accolades. Leslie then reconsidered, and opened his recruitment up last year, which isn’t as common in basketball as football. However, Leslie had committed so early that it’s not unthinkable that he would have second...Read Full Story
