Lewis comes to Northeastern from McNeese State, where he was a recruiter under Tic Price for one year.

Prior to that, he spent a season at Xavier University (La.), an NAIA school located in New Orleans.

Lewis graduated from Tulane University in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in communications. He had a distinguished career with the Green Wave. Lewis earned Metro Conference Freshman of the Year honors in 1991 and second team All-Conference accolades in 1992, the same year he landed a spot on the NCAA Tournament Southeast Regional All-Tournament Team. He helped the Green Wave to a national ranking, a Metro Conference title and an opening-round win over St. John’s in the 1992 NCAA tournament. In 1995, Lewis was named Tulane’s Male Athlete of the Year. He helped the Green Wave to two 20-win seasons, graduated as the school’s all-time steals leader, and appears on Tulane’s career lists in games played, free throws, three-pointers made, scoring and rebounds. He got his coaching start as a volunteer with Tulane in 1996. He parlayed that into as assistant coaching position the following year, and stayed in that role until 1999. During that time, he also served as a coordinator at the Green Wave’s summer basketball camps. Prior to that, he worked as a counselor at the Perry Clark Basketball Camp in 1996. From 1999-02, Lewis played in the Icelandic Professional Basketball League. While in Iceland, he helped lead his team to a championship, earning MVP and best all-around player honors in the process. His first season in Iceland, 1999-2000, he doubled as his team’s head coach. His other post-graduate playing experience was with VASDA, a team of ex-college stars that toured 10 universities in the fall of 1996. Lewis helped VASDA to a 9-1 record, its best ever.
