after being told his contract wouldn't be renewed. An NCAA investigation confirmed the violations, also finding that six players didn't pay for over $1,500 of long-distance telephone calls in December 2001. The telephone charges in question were due to hotel error and ultimately never charged to the program. Since they weren't valid charges, Georgia didn't self-report the violations until an internal investigation into the program in July 2003. In 2004 the NCAA placed Georgia on four years' probation for the violations. It also forced the Bulldogs to vacate half of their wins from 2001–02 and all their wins from 2002–03—30 games in all. Harrick, Jr. was given a seven-year show-cause penalty order for his role in the academic fraud, as well as telling two of the players involved to lie to the NCAA. The 'show-cause' effectively blackballed him from the college ranks until 2011 at the earliest. Later career After Georgia, Harrick worked as a scout for the NBA's Denver Nuggets and helped develop basketball in China. On June 13, 2006, Harrick accepted the head coaching position for the Bakersfield Jam, an NBA Development League team. Harrick resigned for personal reasons in December 2007, after the Jam struggled to a 2–14 record. Harrick later became a college basketball analyst for Prime Ticket, the Southern California affiliate of Fox Sports Net. Since 2018 he has been the assistant men's basketball coach at California State University, Northridge.
