I agree with what most of packpride says. though Harris is a good assistant coach he wont make or break the program.
5/27/2007 1:22:21 PM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOHe's our top recruiter!

are you implying they are right sometimes?
5/27/2007 2:51:54 PM
I truly hope that this isn't true and if so that we can pay Coach Harris enough to keep him here.Having a top recruiter is HUGE for any program, and even if we have a great amount of success this year, Sidney won't be able to do it all on his own. Harris has enough experience and is so good at recruiting that it's helping Sidney out a lot.At least wait until your son graduates Coach Harris, we need you to help Sidney get more experience and we need a few more top 20 recruiting classes, haha.

He is staying, it was a legit offer from UK though.

Damn i hope you're right. I don't want a former point guard (lowe, strickland, towe) working with big dudes. Too Dukish.

^^^ knew that was coming, but clicked it anyway.

He's staying..but I hear we're still not paying him what we should. Unless they are just waiting to work out an extension I am not happy because he will bolt next time a good offer comes. We can only flirt with fire so many times.Fowler, pay the man.

I want Coach Harris to stay. Love the guy.But ya gotta think:He was our assistant head coach when Herb was here. What kind of players did we recruit?players for Herb's Princeton sytem that came here mainly for that system and Herb's style of play.He is still our assistant head coach with Sid (which was mainly to stay with his son and help transition to a new head coach). What kind of players do we recruit?players for Sid's NBA style system / Sid's style of play... Im sure Coach Harris leaving would be a loss we feel in many ways but it is not THAT big of a deal in the long run. Sidney Lowe is the only coach we really need to make sure that we hold onto at all costs.... How many of our incoming players were wooed mostly by Harris? (Fells & Thomas maybe?) I know that Sid did most of the work himself on Hickson and Towe did the work on Javy... I think that even if we do lose him then we will still be heading in the right direction. Who knows? maybe Sid has an even more ballin asst. coach in the works to replace Harris now that he has shown he is the real deal? If that were the case then the whole staff probably is happy for Harris that he is getting big money thrown at him no matter where it comes from....[Edited on May 29, 2007 at 2:10 PM. Reason : sid = da man]

Im actually surprised he is not getting HEAD coach offers.He is older now and probably wants a shot at running a program on his own, but he didn't take the Duquesne job.
5/29/2007 2:32:29 PM
believe me, Harris is HUGE to our program.
5/29/2007 2:42:26 PM
5/29/2007 2:46:54 PM
Beerz, you're an idiot. Harris has been picked as a top assistant in the nation a few times. I think it was two years ago he was picked as a top 10 assistant coach in Div. 1.If you think Sid gets all the credit for our fun season last year or our recruiting sucess, you're a moron. On the recruiting front, I think roughly half the sucess could be chalked up to the assistants.
5/29/2007 2:48:16 PM
hopefully Coach Harris just pulled John Callipari on us
5/29/2007 2:49:08 PM
^^I gave Sid most of the credit on Hickson. The rest were assts. What part did I leave out? Try reading what is typed and not what you want to see next time....
5/29/2007 2:54:14 PM
he is the link from modern day Sydney ball to former Herb ball...which is a good thing as far as getting the "new" coaches accustomed to the program
5/29/2007 2:59:32 PM
I haven't seen a link yet...
5/29/2007 3:00:48 PM
hes staying, but apparently not too happy with how fowler treated the situation.
