Neil Harrow Joins Women’s Basketball Coaching Staff
4/19/2022 1:00:00 PM | Women's Basketball
HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison women's basketball head coach Sean O'Regan has announced the addition of Neil Harrow to the women's basketball coaching staff as an assistant coach on Tuesday afternoon.
"I'm very excited to announce that Neil will be joining our family," commented O'Regan. "His knowledge of the game and his energy were two things that really stood out to me in the search process. His experience in the Sun Belt was certainly a bonus as well. He will be a valuable asset for our program."
Harrow arrives in Harrisonburg after serving as an assistant coach at future Sun Belt foe Troy University from 2015-2022. Harrow helped guide the Trojans to five Sun Belt Conference Championship titles, four NCAA tournament appearances and two WNIT appearances. While at Troy, Harrow was tabbed a 2017 WBCA 30 Under 30 honoree.
"I am extremely excited to join the JMU family," expressed Harrow. "The tradition here is amazing and the support is off the charts. Everything about the athletic department and university has a 'next level' feel to it. I can't wait to start working with Coach O and the staff here to bring more championships to Harrisonburg and play on a national stage. This is a tremendous opportunity for me to grow professionally that I don't take for granted."
In 2020-21, Harrow helped guide Troy to its best offensive season since the 1992-93 season when they averaged 86.0 ppg, the third-best average in the NCAA. Troy also saw itself rank near the top in assists and steals. The Trojans ranked 13th in assists per game (16.8) and 12th in total assists (471) while ranking fifth in total steals (291) and 26th in steals per game (10.4).
Harrow currently serves as an advanced scout for the Connecticut Sun of the WNBA. He helps head coach Curt Miller and the coaching staff prepare for games against the Las Vegas Aces and Los Angeles Sparks. During the 2021 regular season, the Sun went undefeated against these two teams, which contributed to Connecticut finishing the regular season as champions and secure the number one seed heading into the WNBA playoffs.
Prior to his time at Troy, Harrow spent two seasons at Valdosta State University as a graduate assistant (2013-15) and three seasons coaching the men's basketball program at B.Q. Martinenc in Barcelona, Spain (2010-13). In his first season in Barcelona, Harrow was the head coach for the U16 boys team that he guided to a league championship before being promoted to head coach of the U18 team, where he turned a team that finished the prior season 1-27 into a league champion with a record of 24-2. In his final season with B.Q. Martinenc, Harrow served as the assistant coach for the U21 men's team that finished the season as both League (1st Division Preferente) and National Champions (Catalunya).
A native of East Kilbride, Scotland, Harrow earned a bachelor's degree in sport coaching from the University of West Scotland in 2010 prior to earning a master's degree in education from Valdosta State in 2015.
Harrow is one of just three Scotland natives coaching in NCAA women's basketball.
