Veteran NBA coach Del Harris, who spent this season as an assistant with the Chicago Bulls, is retiring, a source told ESPNChicago.com.

Harris, who turns 72 in June, has been coaching for 50 years in the NBA, collegiate and high school levels, as well as overseas. He compiled a 556-457 (.549) record in 12 seasons as an NBA head coach with three different teams -- the Houston Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers.

The 1994-95 NBA Coach of the Year with the Lakers, Harris also guided the Rockets to the NBA Finals in 1981.

Cuz no one really cares. Harris did jack when he was here. And if he was the mastermind behind our switching defense then good riddance.

A great coach and even greater guy.

This is what I like about coaches not named Phil Jackson. Del Harris was willing to coach the 1990 Milwaukee Bucks. The '81 Rockets. Stuff like that.

I always liked Del and know the game will miss him.

He will probably be missed by NBA fans from everywhere not named Chicago. The game will miss him.

Please Please Please bring in RUSH STREET REG to take his position.

How much were they paying him? 1 or 2 million?

I like that idea but I'd really love a bigs coach. We sorely need one.

Yes we do need one. Hire my man Reggie to take Dels spot and give Pete a job upstairs and replace him on the bench with a bigs coach.
