Texas Southern University coaching and athletic leadership

Overview

Texas Southern University administration began a process to fill leadership vacancies for the Director of Athletics and Head Men’s Basketball Coach positions. President James W. Crawford III identified Ashley Robinson as the recommended candidate for the athletic director role and Corey Lowery as a finalist for the men’s basketball coaching vacancy.

Following the recommendation of Lowery, students, athletes, and alumni organized a campus protest to oppose the hire. Demonstrators advocated for the retention of interim head coach Shyrone Chatman, noting his role in recruiting the current roster. The protest occurred amid reports that Lowery had previously failed to receive approval from two Board of Regents committees.
