Who knew SL was a Republican? He is just a step ahead of Gov.McCrory in doing away with NC income taxes.

When Lowe'son was charged w/home invasion and drug dealing, relatives were quoted as blaming it on his being in &quot;that environment&quot; (i.e. an HBCU), rather than acknowledging Lowe's son inherent character deficit. Many students of more dire financial circumstances attend HBCUs and don't participate in such despicable acts. So maybe Sidney Lowe's behavior can be explained away by his being in &quot;that environment&quot; (i.e. greed for more when you earn too much)

I still don't understand how Sid got into this mess. Wonder what is going on in his family life.

I think you should change your screen name.

you really went there? My goodness....why can't we as a society get past that. I'm sure that had absolutely 0 to do with it.

Take that garbage elsewhere!

I grew up watching Sid play at State, and he was a favorite of mine. Hated that he didn't succeed in coaching here, but appreciated what he did.

That being said - for the life of me, I can't grasp this. First of all, given his financial status, he MUST have someone dooing this for him. Most Wealth Managers offer tax planning and tax prep services. Clearly they had to have known about his working and residing in NC (regardless as to where this firm may be).

Second - no way the STate of NC didn't send several notices regarding this. Did Sid just simply ignore, or did his firm ignore?

Third - NO EXCUSE for this. My wife and I make a fraction of what he does, and we go beyond our efforts to have taxes done, double-checked, and filed well in advance of 4/15 timeline.

In reality - here's what will happen. Sid will pay whatever back taxes he owes, plus a fine, and get some sort of probation.

If he really has no knowledge of what is happening wiht his finances, he needs a new advisor! I know plenty I could refer him too (I work in the field)

[quote=12123839]Post by Rameses Unchained[/quote]Coach Lowe was a good coach. The problem was his personality didn't fit in with Debbie and Packpride.

RE: NC State's Lowe arrested for failure to file taxes my gosh hasn't this guy suffered enough, he coached at NC State for gosh sakes.

you called that --COACHING?

Lowe should have had plenty of time to file his taxes between mid March and April 15th during 2009-2011, he certainly didn't have any basketball games to coach.

I guess the apple doesn't fall from the tree...Lowe's BOY commits Armed Robbery and Lowe 'hisself' commits white collar robbery. Cell mates maybe? Too funny!!
