"Coach Guy Molloy was attracted to Harris as an elite 3-point shooter to complement his shuffle offence but also his reputation as an athlete who can run the floor, a hard-nosed defender who can physically mix it inside the key. Molloy said, “I am very excited we have signed a player of Ivan’s ability. This is a tremendous coup for our team and fans and brings another highly credentialed import to SEABL basketball”.

Ivan Harris is the first Buckeye to play in Australia since Chris Jent in the 1994-1995 season (North Melbourne Giants)
