MOBILE, Alabama -- Terry Fowler, a former South Alabama assistant coach and head coach at North Alabama the past seven seasons, will be named the new women's head basketball coach at South Alabama on Wednesday, sources close to South Alabama's program have told AL.com.

 

The school is expected to announce the Wednesday press conference later today. He will replace Rick Pietri, who was fired at the end of last season.
 

Fowler's name no longer appears on the North Alabama athletics web site as the school's head coach.

 

Fowler is familiar with the Mobile area and South Alabama. He spent two seasons as a Jaguars' assistant coach under former head coach Rick Pietri during the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons. He also spent five seasons (1993-94 to 1997-98) as an assistant coach at Mobile's Spring Hill College before taking over as head coach for two seasons (1998-99 and 1999-2000).
