Prior to joining the Lockers, he served as an assistant to current NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks. He has worked under Milwaukee head coach Mike Budenholzer Since 2013, when the couple was with the Atlanta Hawks.
This is not the first time Ham has worked in Los Angeles. He was a lockers assistant from 2011-2013.

He has been appointed to replace Frank Vogel, who was sacked by the team in April.
