Sidney Lowe II, son of the NC State basketball coach Sidney Lowe will plead guilty to 12 accounts that he committed back in March of 2007. The official statement is:
GREENSBORO, N.C. — The son of North Carolina State basketball coach Sidney Lowe plans to plead guilty to a dozen charges connected to a March 2007 home invasion.
Greensboro attorney Locke Clifford said 23-year-old Sidney Lowe II will plead guilty Monday afternoon to six counts each of robbery with a dangerous weapon and kidnapping.
Clifford said Lowe II will also issue an Alford plea on a conspiracy to commit armed robbery charge for a shooting at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. That plea does not admit guilt but acknowledges evidence could convict him.
Clifford said Lowe II is expected to be sentenced during Monday’s hearing.
Brian Martin, 20, will also be in court to face his own charges in connection with the shooting.

First of all, before his dad became a high paying, well hated college basketball coach, he worked as an asisstant coach for the Detroit Pistons. In otherwords: they had money. Why in the world would Lowe II be tempted to partake in such crimes? No one really understands, but there was no need for the money I’m sure. There is really only one true explantion: Sidney Lowe didn’t give him a propper childhood.
These are all assumptions, of course, but imagine living your childhood with your father gone 90% of the time. The NBA season lasts longer than the college season, but college coaches work year round on recruiting trips and hitting the books. I feel sympathy for the family . . . and I really hope Lowe wears a red blazer to the court hearings.
