Former North Carolina State basketball coach Sidney Lowe has been taken into custody for failing to turn over money to the government that he owed in taxes. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, Lowe failed to turn in his North Carolina state income taxes—all while he served as the head coach of the Wolfpack. Talk about setting an example for college kids!

Lowe, currently an assistant coach with the NBA's Utah Jazz, was booked at Wake County jail Monday and released on a $10,000 unsecured bond on the misdemeanor charges. Unavailable to be with the team for their Monday practice, the coach will be in Utah Tuesday night when the Jazz take on the Warriors in Salt Lake City. Head coach Tyrone Corbin does not see a reason why Lowe should not be in suit for Tuesday's game.

"It's a personal matter," said Corbin, who indicated he had spoken with Lowe. "We'll deal with it. He'll make a statement at some point, but it's a personal matter."

Jazz Forward Al Jefferson, who has also had off the court issues of his own, doesn't hold the charges against Lowe and believes his coach will bounce back without much of an issue.

"Coach is a great guy," Jefferson said. "I don't know the story. ... he'll take care of [it]. "

Lowe was also a player for the Wolfpack in the 1980's, but was unable to lead his alma mater to winning ways on the court as the team never made the NCAA tournament during his five seasons as head coach. He was paid a base salary of $210,000 per year, which boosted to $760,000 with television and radio commitments, and with bonuses and endorsements could have been up to $900,000 a year. Lowe resigned in 2011 and received a contract settlement that was expected to pay him around $900,000, according to athletic director Debbie Yow's comments at the time.
