---

Team Richmond Basketball extends its congratulations and sincere appreciation to former director, Coach Del Harris for his dedicated volunteer service and invaluable contributions to the organization since taking over the program in 2019. His commitment to bettering youth basketball players both on and off the court has significantly impacted the program’s success as one of the premier AAU basketball organizations in the country. Team Richmond is deeply grateful for his hard work and tireless efforts throughout the years.

Harris, in two separate stints with Team Richmond helped over 100 players achieve their dreams of playing on the next level. As a Coach and Director, he also assisted over 25 coaches secure basketball coaching positions at the middle, high school and college level. He has been a popular personality working in the community - serving on several boards and helping to brand Team Richmond as more than just a basketball organization.

Earlier this fall, Harris stepped down as Director of Team Richmond to return to Division I coaching as an assistant men’s basketball coach at The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina.

“I have the deepest love and gratitude to Team Richmond for giving me my first head coaching position with the 16U B-Team in 2003. I never got into AAU coaching to win championships, be a director or get kids exposure. I simply love teaching the game, building authentic relations, helping young people develop and being a part of a team. I hope that I was able to inspire, make a difference and impact the character of the young men I served to be the best they can be in life. Thank you to all that supported, mentored, volunteered, showed up and allowed me to coach during my time with TR. I am confident the Team Richmond Board of Directors will continue to lead this organization with the same level of commitment next 20 years and beyond. Thank you, Team Richmond.” - Coach Del Harris
