Hawks hire Darvin Ham as assistant coach

Darvin Ham, a former Pistons player and Saginaw native, will join Mike Budenholzer’s staff with the Hawks:

"“Darvin has a great feel for the game and knows what it takes for a team to be successful and compete at a high level," Budenholzer said. “He was a smart player who played with intensity and toughness every night and he has gone about coaching the same way.”"

Ham also served as an assistant coach with the Lakers for a couple years, and it seems he’s working his way up the ladder. I always like to see former Pistons – especially ones who worked and practiced as hard as Ham did – do well.
