Jason Keema Hart (born April 29, 1978) is an American basketball coach and former professional player who is currently an assistant coach for the University of Kentucky.
College career
From 1996 to 2000, he attended New York's Syracuse University, where he became the first freshman in the Big East Conference's history to lead it in minutes played. Later on, he earned other accolades as an NCAA player, such as becoming his college's all-time leader in steals and second place among assist leaders. As a senior, Hart made the Big East's All-First Team.[1] He was also selected to the Syracuse All-Century Basketball team.

Starting the
Hart was signed by the Bobcats as a free agent before the 2004–05 season, and made the first steal in Bobcats history in their first game. Previously, in a 128–126 losing effort in their second preseason game, Hart made a three-point shot as time expired to send the game against the Washington Wizards into a second overtime en route to 19 points.
In the 2004–05 season, Hart set career highs in many categories including: points per game (9.5), assists per game (5.0), and rebounds per game (2.7). He finished third in the league in assist-to-turnover ratio, with 3.6 assists for every turnover. After the season, Hart was traded to the Sacramento Kings.
On March 2, 2007, Hart was waived by the Kings.[2] He was signed a few days later by the Los Angeles Clippers.[3] On July 13, 2007, Hart signed with the Utah Jazz.[4] Originally serving as the backup to Deron Williams, an injury forced him to sit for 8 games. Ronnie Price's solid play during that time, nearly removed him from the rotation.
On July 23, 2008, Hart was traded back to the Clippers in exchange for Brevin Knight.[5]
On February 27, 2009, Hart was waived by the Clippers.[6]
On March 3, 2009, Hart was signed by the Nuggets for the remainder of the season.
