Born and raised in Brooklyn, Harry was nicknamed "Jammy" for his habit of eating jam sandwiches before every game to calm his stomach. He went to Savage School after graduating from high school, and after that went on to play professional and semi-professional basketball around New York before landing a coaching job at Madison. He coached there for 43 years before retiring and moving to Florida, where he would die in 1999.
