If you don’t give the government your hard earned money, they’ll take it anyways and throw you Jail.

I lost respect as I’d imagine others did too. I don’t think us as fans want him to be a part of our organization as a coach having done that. We need to have a clean reputation, at least among our coaching staff and front office.
…from reading the article, I never realized what an awful career coaching record Sydney Lowe has… I doubt anything changes at all, except he will have to file his taxes, or, hire a tax guy to figure all this out for him.
Oh yes Drew, he is a dirty Criminal…. Lost respect? Come on. With the details we have right now all we can conclude is that he was stopped routinely and this came up on the system.
I bet it was an old cops n’ robbers high speed chase, Sidney Lowe spraying his tommy gun in the coppers general direction whilst cackling and twisting his mustache….. lost respect. Hahahahaha
Let’s get a clear understanding before we “lose respect”.
@Matt, maybe you didn’t “lose respect”, maybe he’s not a “dirty criminal”, but a man who cheated the rules is not in good position to ask to his players to not cheat the rules…………… and when i talk about “rules”, i talk about being a pro, act like a pro, work hard, train hard, deserves playing time, deserves respect…….. if one of our player don’t do his max, what can he say to him, the player just have to answer “pay your tax first, and then you can talk to me”……….
first rule, no cheater in our team, period
I don’t think anyone is grasping what actually went down. If he would have back filed even 5 days ago he would be fine.
Lets take things into account before demonizing. @ French Dude I believe teachers are imperfect and that some of their more valuable lessons can be taught through life lessons the teachers themselves learn/have learned.
Sidney Lowe has been the head coach for N.C. State and the Asst. Coach for the Utah Jazz for the past 3 years.(funny, charged with evasion for….3 years!) The scheduling is crazier and money that he is making is more than ever before. Both factor into taxes.
I’m sure he wanted to take time with an accountant and actually get something back instead of paying away all the money he earned so he pushed it. A mistake yes, a simple, “I’ll get to it” type of thing that bit him in the butt hard. It’s a great lesson to learn and teach. That you simply cannot take waiting a year (or 3) lightly. Yes MILLIONS of Americans do it every year but it also makes a routine traffic stop an automatic arrest. He wasn’t trying to cheat the tax system. No one gets away with that.
I don’t know, maybe I fall on an opposite side and thats where we stand. I think that people make mistakes, and this was a fairly harmless one.
No one is perfect, not even the good people up in Salt Lake
(just teasing, I have mad love for UT)
Maybe you’re right, but maybe not paying taxes is rarely a pure mistake……….. We’ll never know
