Jim Harrick knows a thing or two about winning championships, having guided UCLA to the 1995 NCAA title.

But it has been a while since Harrick's been on the sidelines. Since leaving Georgia in disgrace in 2003, he had been scouting in the NBA and, most recently, doing television work for Fox Sports Net.

Sunday, Harrick returned to the bench, coaching the Pump N Run Elite team comprised of some of Southern California's best high school talent. Apparently, he hasn't lost his touch as Pump N Run defeated the defending champion Las Vegas Prospects, 68-64, to capture the title of the Double Pump Spring Tournament at Tarkanian Basketball Academy.

"This was fun for me," Harrick said. "The last time I coached high school kids was back in 1973 when I was at Morningside High (Inglewood, Calif.). We had (former UNLV star) Jackie Robinson on that team."

Harrick had a lot of talent to work with this weekend, including the sons of three former NBA players -- Larry Drew Jr., the son of Atlanta Hawks assistant Larry Drew, James Dunleavy, whose dad Mike coaches the Los Angeles Clippers and Austin Daye, whose father Darren played at UCLA and also spent time in the pros with the Boston Celtics. He didn't intend to coach but when David and Dana Pump asked him to take the team for the spring, Harrick agreed.

"I don't think I'm going to do this all summer," he said. "But I enjoyed it this week."

Both teams were tired after being extended in their semifinal contests earlier in the afternoon. The Prospects came back from a 16-point deficit to force overtime and eventually defeat the SoCal Razorbacks, 100-92. Pump N Run had a battle with EBO/EA Sports before prevailing, 79-76, in the other semi.

The Prospects were without two key players -- Andre McFarland and Luke Babbitt, who were playing in a tournament in Germany. Pump N Run held a 48-32 lead with 11 minutes to play but the Prospects began to chip away as P'Allen Stinnett and Craig Brackens led the comeback.

Stinnett, who led the Prospects with 21 points, had a two-handed jam with 3:20 to play to cut the deficit to 61-59. Brackens, who finished with 19, tied it at 61 with a slam at the 2:42 mark. But that was as close as the Prospects would get as a couple of turnovers in the final 90 seconds proved costly. Pump N Run, which was led by James Harden's 26 points, scored off each miscue to take the title.

"I think this shows how much we love the game," Stinnett said. "It's a given we missed Andre and Luke but this shows we're a good team. We had a big target on our backs. Everyone was gunning for us and we still almost repeated."
