Breaks backboard:
March 18, 1996, Ham’s slam and some sharp parimeter shooting help snap North Carolina’s 23-game winning streak. The Red Raiders eventually lost to Georgetown in the next round, finishing the year 30-2.
After an extended pro career that took him from the NBA to the European league and back to the NBA, Ham broke into the coaching ranks with the New Mexico Thunderbirds (2008-2011) as head coach and the Los Angeles Lakers (2011-2013) as an assistant.
Pistons:
The 48-year-old Ham is getting his first head coaching job as the 28th coach in Lakers history. He has been an assistant to Mike Budenholzer with the Milwaukee Bucks since 2018, and he played a significant role in their run to the 2021 NBA title.
Ham will be the successor to Frank Vogel, who was fired one day after the Lakers wrapped up one of the most disappointing seasons in NBA history by going 33-49 and missing the playoffs.
College:
Today, He’s a member of the Atlanta Hawks coaching staff, currently leading the Indiana Pacers 3-2 in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
