...earning national Defensive Player of the Year honors his senior season. Following a nine-year assistant coaching stint under Coach K, he moved on to Seton Hall and, in his years there, led the program to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in 2000 . The following year, Amaker brought in a recruiting class that ESPN ranked second nationally. These accomplishments become all the more significant when contrasted with Harvard’s own basketball history—no NCAA Tournament appearances since 1946, no wins at either Penn or Princeton since 1991, no Ivy League championship...ever.The team must work...
