career

Harrison completed his studies in his native US state at the State University in Raleigh and was for the basketball team at the University Wolfpack in the NCAA active. The Wolfpack maintains a great rivalry with the neighboring Blue Devils of Duke University and the Tar Heels of the UNC at Chapel Hill, which are much more renowned in basketball . In one of these derbies , Harrison was able to excel when he played on February 21, 1998 against the Tar Heels , in which the German national player Ademola Okulaja was in the squad and which later that season reached the Final Four tournament of the national championship finals , scored eight successive three-point throws in the 86:72 victory in the opposing hall . After completing his studies, he got a job with the famous basketball show team Harlem Globetrotters .

In 1999 he was signed by the German first division newcomer from SSV Weißenfels , who reached the play-offs for the German championship in his first season with a good sixth place in the main round . Harrison contributed 13.9 points per encounter to this performance. In the special edition of the Basketball Bundesliga for the 2000/01 season, Harrison is described as a “lively American with a good throw and a strong pull to the basket”. He was the crowd favorite in Weißenfels. In the following season they were able to qualify for the play-offs again, but as in the previous season did not get beyond the quarter-finals. Harrison increased his average in his second Bundesliga year to 19.8 points per game.

He then moved to the Bundesliga newcomer RheinEnergie from Cologne , who, like MBC, was able to qualify for the BBL two years earlier by waiving a license from another club. In the first first division season under the former national coach Svetislav Pešić , the ambitious club reached the championship final with Harrison, which was lost to the then series champion Alba Berlin . Harrison was the Rhinelander's best basket shooter in his first year in Cologne (18.8 points / game). In the following season they reached the cup final, which they lost in a dramatic way only in the final seconds against Alba. In the play-offs for the championship, they were eliminated in the first round. Harrison led Cologne in 2002/03 with 16.7 points per game. In the following 2003/04 season, the elimination in the first championship round was repeated. But they were more successful in the cup and were able to win their first national title for the young club. The US-American was once again first on the Cologne basketball list, he scored 16.1 points / game in the Bundesliga over the course of the season.

Then in 2004 Harrison moved to the French LNB Pro A for the Paris club Racing . After one season he moved to the league rivals from Pau in the south of France , with the team he won the French Cup in 2007. In addition, he was able to participate with this club twice in the top European division ULEB Euroleague , where they reached the round of the last 16 teams in the 2006/07 season. He then signed a contract with the Italian Lega Basket Serie A , but dissolved it because of a serious illness in the family. In 2008 he made a comeback for the basketball club from Amsterdam in the Dutch Eredivisie . With an association operating under the MyGuide , he became Dutch champion in 2009. He then signed a contract with the former Italian first division club Snaidero from Udine in northern Italy in LegaDue. After the financially-related withdrawal of the club after the 2010/11 season, he moved to the promoted Morpho Baskets from Piacenza for the following season . Although this was able to reach the play-offs for promotion to the first division straight away, in which they were eliminated in the first round. The club then withdrew from the second division for financial reasons.
