Iβm Coach Mel Harris, a professional basketball skill development coach based in NYC. Iβm 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 itβs 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! Weβve 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.
It's my passion to unlock the potential I see in every player, from seasoned athletes to those just stepping onto the court. With 23 years of playing experience and 6 years of both training and coaching I've honed a coaching style that's both encouraging and effective. Let's work together to elevate your game.

I assess the playerβs current skill set, decision-making, and conditioning through dynamic drills like 1-on-1 breakdowns, transition scoring, and situational reads. I also run a baseline skill evaluation including shot mechanics, footwork under pressure, and defensive stance. From there, I tailor a progressive plan based on their goals and playing style
