Pontiac has a new Boys Basketball Coach.

Written Monday May 12th at 1:16 PM

Pontiac will have a new boys basketball coach next winter.

The Phoenix have named Dion Harris their new head coach confirmed by the D-Zone. Harris is the third coach in three years in Pontiac. He takes over for DeQuan Washington who stepped down coaching the program.

Harris played at Michigan from 2003-2007 and was Michigan Mr. Basketball in 2003 for Detroit Redford.

Harris new team has a ton of questions despite having JJ Claudio and Jaiden Price coming back. Program strength will be something to watch with the Phoenix. Pontiac will be in the Blue with Troy, Troy Athens, Seaholm, Bloomfield Hills, and Royal Oak. The district for the Phoenix will be announced by the MHSAA in June.

It will be really interesting to see how the transition period comes for Pontiac and for Harris. We'll see what happens.

Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story. 


Here is the tweet from D-Zone (Stu Carrolton) confirming the move.
