In our fifth live Q&A we sat down with Head Coach of Umass Boston Men’s Basketball, Jason Harris.

Coach Harris is about to start his tenth season at UMB, and has made a massive impact on the program during his tenure. “He led the Beacons to winning seasons in four of his first five years, including a program-record four-straight from 2016-17 to 2019-20…and led UMass Boston to marquee victories over nationally-ranked Tufts University and Division I College of Holy Cross.” (Source)

During this conversation, we responded to some great recruiting questions from the audience, discussed how to build a successful college sports program, Coach Harris’ experience as a D3 athlete at Rhode Island College, what college basketball recruits should be doing when they go on college campus visits, takeaways from his time coaching WeAreD3 in TBT, and much more.

If you enjoy this conversation, you’ll definitely want to check out the earlier Q&A’s in the series.
