Missouri State men's basketball announced two additions to Dana Ford's coaching staff on Friday.
Chris Lowery and Bertram "Buzzy" Caruthers III will join Ford's staff in the weeks following associate head coach Corey Gipson's departure to become the head coach at Northwestern State.
Among the moves included promoting assistant coach Jase Herl to the associate head coaching role.
Lowery will serve as the program's "special assistant to the head coach" with Caruthers serving as an assistant. Lowery absorbs a vacant "director of basketball operations" position with a higher title that should include higher pay.
Lowery comes to Missouri State after spending the last decade on Bruce Weber's staff at Kansas State.
