    Experience:
    15th Season

    Larry Harris has spent the last 14 years as an assistant coach on the NC State staff, serving under two different head coaches. The 2009-10 campaign will mark Harris' 26th season as a Division I assistant coach.

    Harris came to the Wolfpack program after serving as an assistant coach at Washington State University during the 1995-96 campaign, helping the Cougars to a 17-12 record. Prior to his stop at Washington State, he spent three years on the staff at Oregon State University. During his stint with the Beavers, he coached two of the premier scorers in the Pac-10, Brent Barry and Mustapha Hoff.

    Harris began his coaching career at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh as a volunteer assistant coach before being promoted to a full-time position in 1986. He remained at Duquesne until 1993, when he moved to Oregon State. His final three recruiting classes at Duquesne were considered the finest in the school's history.

    A 1978 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, Harris was a standout four-year letterman at forward for the Panther basketball team. At the completion of his career, he ranked as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,914 points. While at Pittsburgh, Harris was teammates with fellow NC State assistant coach Pete Strickland.

    He earned a bachelor of arts degree in social studies from Pittsburgh in 1978 and went on to play two seasons in the NBA with the San Diego Clippers and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

    A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Harris lettered in both basketball and football at Clearview High School (Lorain, Ohio) and earned prep All-America honors in both sports.

    Harris is the proud father of a son, Simon (24), who was a member of the NC State basketball team from 2008-09, and two daughters, Raquel (16) and Mercedes (15).
