(St. Louis, MO) – SIUE has tapped the local talent for its next men’s basketball coach. Edwardsville High School product Jon Harris has been signed to become just the second Division 1 coach of the Cougar team.
Harris has worked with Cuonzo Martin for the past seven years at Missouri State, Tennessee and California. Those teams have won a College Insider.com Tournament championship, been to a Sweet 16 game and won an awful lot of games.
Harris was a star for Coach Mike Waldo’s Tigers and at Marquette University prior to his coaching career.
The official press conference will be Monday on the SIUE campus.

I haven't heard, nor do I know, how does this apply to the typical 'foreign' basketball player that is most often over 19?
Obviously, this is a sentimental and not a ‘spreadsheet’ notion, but would hate to see @MVCsports change the #ArchMadness format from the traditional ‘family reunion’ feel by cutting teams from the experience. #FatherHarry
Another nice @MVCsports basketball schedule announcement. #FatherHarry . .
Congrats to @ISURedbirdGolf. T.J. Barger sets a school record. Pietro Pontiggia records the Redbirds' second-ever top 20 finish at a regional. The team finishes tent in the region which is tied for the program's best regional finish! #FatherHarry
