Lowery is a Physical Education teacher at Providence High
School. His coaching started in 1990 at Sedgefield Middle
School where his team won two conference championships
including the 95-96 city championship. That team went

Lowery's passion for basketball is evident in his coaching
and private lessons. H.O.O.P.S. focus is teaching the
fundamentals and allowing players to reach their maximum
potential. Myron has worked with individuals who have
traveled from as far as Illinois, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
West Virginia, South Carolina, as well as throughout the
state of North Carolina. He has helped players achieve
many different levels of success from making a team, MVP
of their conference, to playing college basketball. The
drastic improvement of one local high school's team free
throw shooting raised from 65% to 80% in one year can
be contributed to his unique teaching method of shooting.

a career high of 51 points in a single game and scored
1,190 career points. Currently, he is shooting 93.3% from
the free throw line recorded from 8,000 free throws. Fact:
Only 1 percent of all basketball players shoot 90% or
above at the free throw line. His personal record of consecutive
free throws made stands at 330! There have been other
aspects of the game that Myron has experienced such as
a registered basketball referee, a sports radio commentary/reporter,
consultant for Middle School, High School and AAU teams,
and he has written a book about the fundamentals of basketball:
A Progressive Systematic Approach to Basketball. He has
also been published in the basketball magazine WINNING

the first time in school history. The Panthers also climbed

per game. Coach Lowery teaches at every camp with experienced
and successful high school coaches. |
