Kenneth Lowe Lands $200K Role at Purdue

Purdue basketball just hired Kenneth Lowe as a full-time assistant coach, paying him $200,000 his first year — a move that brings the known coaching staff salaries to $1.725 million. Lowe, a former standout player and defensive standout who earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year twice, returns to the program after stints at Miami of Ohio and St. Thomas. His contract doesn’t lock in a specific length, but includes performance reviews and severance pay: $16,667 if let go within the first year, and $50,000 after. Lowe previously worked as a video coordinator for head coach Matt Painter. Still pending: P.J. Thompson’s pay after his promotion, while others like Brandon Brantley and Paul Lusk earn significantly more than Lowe’s starting salary.
