Stowers is making his way back to NKU after he served as an assistant with the men’s basketball program in the early 2010’s after a stellar four-year career with the Norse.
He has spent the past two years as the head girls’ basketball coach at Simon Kenton High School, where he most recently led the team to their sixth eighth region title and a spot in the Sweet 16.
“Black and gold runs in my family's blood and the chance to give back to this university was a no-brain decision for me and my family,” Stowers said. “I am excited to get started and help Jeff take this program to a new level.”
“It is great to have Brenden back in the Norse family,” Hans said. “Brenden excels in the X’s and O’s and will be instrumental in our player development. He is a hard worker that has a passion for NKU and will help us be successful on the court and in the classroom.”
To go with his time leading the Kenton High School program, he had stops as a video coordinator at Xavier University for two years, an assistant men’s coach at NKU for a year and spent a year as an assistant men’s coach at Thomas More College. Stowers was also the assistant varsity girls coach at Simon Kenton from 2004-08.
Stowers graduated from Simon Kenton in 1999 and was a standout with the Norse from 1999-2003. In his senior season at NKU, he was named the Co-Player of the Year in the Great Lakes Valley Conference and a Second Team NCAA Division II All-America.
