Harrick Hired To Lead The Bakersfield Jam Of The NBDL

The Bakersfield Jam named Jim Harrick their first head coach. Harrick had stops in the college ranks with Rhode Island, Georgia and UCLA, where he won a National Championship.

"I've been sitting around doing nothing," he told The (Bakersfield) Californian. "I think my wife wanted it more than I did. Get me out of the house. It'll hurt my (golf) handicap, but that's what I do. That's all I've done my whole life."

Harrick had spent the last three years scouting for the NBA's Denver Nuggets and traveling to China to help develop basketball there.
