Proof That Back in the Day, Harbaugh Could Hoop
We all remember the story of when Jim Harbaugh and D.J. Durkin engaged in a legendary and bloody one-on-one basketball game. Here's some proof that back in the day, our coach was a scoring machine. From the Dec. 30, 1981, edition of the San Francisco Examiner.

If he couldn’t play Quiditch he wasn’t legit.

Ray and Craig were ballers

And back in the day Harbaugh could coach too.

Sorry, it was just too easy.

Too soon.

It has been 5 years.

Not his fault. The current college football playoff system is just awful. If Harbaugh came in before RR, Michigan would be in the catbird seat, not OSU.

Totally agree. I think we just got him 7 yrs too late.

It's been longer than that since killing the clock and kicking FGs was a viable strategy.

Please explain.

Thanks for nothing Bill Martin...

I would never have guessed, absolutely wild

Many HS QBs are excellent multi-sport athletes. In my experience they are outstanding pitchers, shortstops and shooting guards/forwards.

He really stuck it to that bastard Earl Koberlein.

Can't imagine living in Palo Alto...must have been nice.

If I recall rightly, Bob Griese, the father of Brian, was not only the quarterback for Purdue's football team in 1964, but played in their basketball team as well.
All-round athletes (Ronnie Bell?) have to specialize if they hope to achieve the highest level of success, I suppose.
Speedy wide receivers and defensive backs were often sprinters in high school too. Wrestlers as linemen? Skinny long-distance runners? Not so much.

Jimmy's gonna put the moves on Elaine!

Are we even sure that’s the same Jim Harbaugh?
