Life of Fitz: Jareem Dowling in Manhattan, Kansas
Jareem Dowling is entering his third season at Kansas State after being the first announced member of head coach Jerome Tang's inaugural coaching staff on March 29, 2022. Dowling was part of a coaching staff that helped reenergize a K-State program in 2022-23, guiding the Wildcats to their third-highest win total (26) and a thrilling run to the Elite Eight despite being picked last in the Big 12 preseason poll after three consecutive losing seasons. The 26 wins are the third-most in school history, trailing the school-record 29 in 2009-10, the 27 in 2012-13, and just the eighth 25-win campaign. An assistant coach with 17 years of experience as well as 12 years of international head coaching experience, Dowling came to K-State after spending six seasons (2016-22) on staff with current Texas Tech head coach Grant McCasland at both Arkansas State (2016-17) and North Texas (2017-22). In addition to his time with the Red Wolves and Mean Green, he has also been an assistant at the NJCAA level at Cecil College in Maryland (2005-08), the Division II level at Slippery Rock (2008-11) as well as Morehead State (2011-12) and Southern Miss (2012-15). Dowling also has extensive international experience having served as the head coach for the U.S. Virgin Islands Junior National Team and as an assistant coach on the Senior National Team since 2007. A native of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, Dowling moved to Wilmington, Delaware, during high school. Dowling earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from UMES in 2005, while he added a master's degree in Sports Management from California University of Pennsylvania in 2011.
