He joins Mercer after coming off a championship run with Northwest Florida State College where the Raiders claimed the NJCAA national title after going 24-2 in 2020-21. After joining the NFSC staff in January, Lowery worked with the NJCAA Coach of the Year, Bart Walker, and coached Chanaya Pinto to NJCAA All-America honors. Pinto also garnered the World Exposure Report Sophomore of the Year honors, as well as being named a First Team All-American by the organization alongside teammate Last-Tear Poa, who was a Third Team All-American.
Prior to NFSC, Lowery served as the head coach at Florida State College at Jacksonville for the 2019-20 season after spending four years at the University of North Florida as the associate head coach. While at UNF, he helped recruit three ASUN Conference Newcomers of the Year and two ASUN All-Freshman Team members as the team reached the conference semifinals in back-to-back seasons.
In his first season with the Ospreys, Lowery saw to development of Kadesia Johnson who improved her rebounding average by more than seven boards per game. He assisted with Maiya Rumph in becoming the team's second-best rebounder.
Lowery came to UNF after spending eight years as an assistant coach at Florida. He coordinated the Gators’ recruiting efforts and assisted with player development. Lowery brought 10 ESPN Top 100 recruits to Florida, including McDonald’s All-American Ronni Williams.
While at Florida, Lowery helped the Gators to three NCAA Tournament appearances (2009, 2012, 2014) and four WNIT appearances (2008, 2010, 2011, 2013) with the Gators reaching the WNIT Final Four in 2013.
The coach of 21 All-Conference selections and six All-SEC Freshman Team honorees, Lowery has also served as an assistant coach at Charlotte and Davidson. With both teams, Lowery served as the recruiting coordinator and oversaw each team’s academic progress. Additionally, in his two years at Charlotte (2005-07), Lowery helped the 49ers to the 2006 Atlantic 10 Championship and trips to the 2006 and 2007 WNITs.
Lowery has participated in multiple coaching forums, including the Nike Villa 7 Next Generation of Young Rising Head Coaches, the BCA ACA Program of Achieving Coaching Excellence, NACWAA White Board Coaches Consortium and the U.S. Marines Leadership Training Workshop. He has also presented at multiple conferences, including the WBCA’s “So You Want To Be A Coach” program.
