Kansas State men’s basketball coach Bruce Weber has named the first member of his new coaching staff with the Wildcats.
Former Southern Illinois head coach Chris Lowery has accepted the position of assistant coach under Weber, who was named K-State’s coach last week. Lowery will earn a base salary of $210,000 for the 2012-2013 school year.
Lowery reunites with Weber for the third time in his career after serving as his assistant coach for two seasons at Southern Illinois (2001-03) and one season at Illinois (2003-04).
He arrives at K-State after an eight-year stint (2004-12) as the head coach at his alma mater where he posted a 145-116 overall record.
