Ex-NC State coach, Jazz assistant Sidney Lowe pleads guilty to tax charges

Utah Jazz assistant coach Sidney Lowe pleaded guilty Wednesday in North Carolina to charges that he failed to file state income tax returns while a head coach at North Carolina State University.

Lowe, who was expected to re-join the Jazz around half-time of Wednesday night’s game against the Kings, had a 45-day jail sentence suspended and was placed on probation for 36 months, according to a release from the North Carolina Department of Revenue.

The 53-year-old Lowe was also ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and to pay more than $79,200 in restitution and a fine of $2,000.
