Q&A:
LS: Who would you say were/are the coaches that were your mentors and had the most impact on you as a coach?
CL: My dad (Boyd Lowry long time HC at Gordon) will be one of the of course and Vance (Jones) would be one, and Harvey Wellman. Vance and Wellman I probably learned as much as I possible could from those guys in person or on the phone and I can call them any time.
LS: If you could tell first year head coach Clint Lowry something what would it be?
CL: It ain’t as easy as you think it is, and don’t be afraid to ask people questions because you don’t know everything you think you do.
LS: Having been a great player in high school, is it easier or harder than going on and trying to be a great coach?
CL: Depends on the person. Some coaches that were former players struggle a bit because they expect too much. But I do think if you played and coached six-man it helps, it has its pluses, but you can let your ego get in the way.
