D.P. Harris, Head Coach
Known for his ability to recruit and a work ethic among the coaching fraternity as "relentless," he knows the meaning of hard work. "It's simple to me as a coach; you show up, and you don't leave until the work is done and done right. If it means showing up at 4:00 a.m. and working through lunch, then so be it." The Bearcats, assisted and now coached by Harris, have been to five National Tournaments, including two Elite Eights, and two Sweet Sixteen appearances. They have also played in six Conference Championships. "The players win games, and if you get guys that want to work and are coachable, the program will be successful." Harris has seen six of his players earn a total of nine All-American honors, while five players, including Tony Washam, Kenny Roberts, Jeff Mallory, Felix Indaye, and Rob Husar, have gone on to professional careers in Europe. Coach Harris' eyes light up when people ask about the Carey Center. "What a great time to be at Saint Vincent College. The facility is one of the finest in college basketball and is a great addition for all students and student-athletes at the school." |























A native of West Virginia, Coach Harris has made Saint Vincent College his home. "I really like the area and the people are fantastic." Before his arrival to Saint Vincent, Coach Harris coached at Wheeling Park High School and a season of College basketball at Ohio University Eastern. After six seasons as an assistant, D.P. has now posted a record of 126-42 in six seasons as Head Coach, including back-to-back NAIA National Tournament Sweet 16 appearances.
