I’m Coach Mel Harris, a professional basketball skill development coach based in NYC. I’m a 94FTOfGame Certified Skills Coach, under the mentorship of 3-Time NBA Champion, Coach Phil Handy. DurtttyWork Inc. is our player development company and platform that we train through, with two other coaches onboard as well. We focus on Skill development and the details wrapped around basketball, whether it’s ball handling, shot mechanics, passing, defense, making the right reads in a offensive or scoring on all 4 levels of the court, DurtttyWork has you covered! We’ve had the opportunity to train on all skill levels from NBA/WNBA down to youth basketball, so our teachings and experience is very wide-ranged and helps us train at the highest level. Everyone learns different, so we do our best to administer actions geared around customizing the session for the client(s). Before making DurtttyWork, I have over 15 years of playing experience. From high-level high school basketball and leading the city in assists to playing at a D2 Junior College, nationally breaking 3pt records in the NJCAA, winning two city championships and second place in the Region 15 Championship. To playing at a D3 NCAA college and breaking more 3pt records there as well. After college, I played Semi-Pro basketball in the ABA, followed by a Pro Exposure Tour in Puerto Rico. After signing my next full contract to play in the Dominican Republic, the Covid-19 pandemic had forced myself to retire early and took the opportunity to create a platform for player development and youth skill development.

"In my lessons with Coach Jhazeal, I went from averaging 4pts a game to averaging 22pts a game. He helped me grow 500% better in on court performance. He helped me understand that performance anxiety is common but continuous work and practice will slowly dissolve that problem and he was right. Our practices are always fun and motivating. He even came to some of my games to help cheer me on which made me feel even better. I highly recommend.
