Texas Southern's Board of Regents approved Corey Lowery as the program's next head basketball coach Wednesday, voting 6-1 in a special session — one day after players, students, and alumni staged a campus demonstration demanding the university keep interim coach Shyrone Chatman.⁠ ⁠ Chatman took over in April after Johnny Jones left to join LSU's staff, and led the Tigers through a search that stretched more than four months. Players who rallied behind him carried signs on campus and met directly with university president James W. Crawford III before the board's vote.⁠ ⁠ Lowery joins Texas Southern after four seasons as an assistant at Seton Hall and a previous head coaching stint at Lincoln University, where he was named CIAA Coach of the Year in 2021-22. The Board of Regents also approved Ashley Robinson as the university's new athletic director in the same session.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 in bio -- READ FULL HBCUBUZZ.COM⁠ ⁠ #TexasSouthern #SWAC #HBCUBasketball #HBCUBuzz #TigerNation
