History

[edit]

Tommy Amaker era

[edit]

On April 11, 2007, Tommy Amaker was named men's basketball coach atHarvard University.^[2] On January 7, 2009, Amaker's Harvard squad defeated then-ranked Boston College (#17AP Poll/#24Coaches' Poll) for the first win over a ranked team in the program's history.^[3] The following season, after Amaker coached Harvard to its most successful season ever behind the play ofJeremy Lin, the2009–10 team was invited to participate in the2010 CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The team was defeated in the first round byAppalachian State.^[4]

Amaker led the2010-11 team to a share of the2010–11 Ivy League men's basketball season championship, which was school's first men's basketball Ivy League Championship since the league was formed during the1956–57 season.^[5] Harvard finished the season a perfect 14–0 at home,^[5] which surpassed the prior season's school record of eleven home wins.^[6] The team's 12 conference game wins established a school record.^[7] The team's victory overColorado was the team's first ever against aBig 12 Conference opponent since that conference commenced play in 1996.^[8] His fourth season also marked the fourth straight season that the team defeated at least one power conference opponent.^[9] By finishing as Ivy League Co-champion, they facedPrinceton in aone-game playoff and lost by a score of 63–62.^[10] Harvard earned an automatic bid to the2011 National Invitation Tournament, but was defeated byOklahoma State by a 71–54 margin in the first round.^[11] The final record of 23–7 surpassed the prior season's total of 21 wins for the most in the history of the program.

The team appeared in theNCAA Division I men's basketball tournament in2014, where Harvard upset 5-seedCincinnati 61–57 before being eliminated in the round of 32 by 4-seedMichigan State by a score of 80–73.^[12] In 2015, Harvard tied withYale for the Ivy title with an 11–3 league record. Despite having lost to Yale 62–52 atLavietes Pavilion on March 6, 2015, just eight days later Harvard won a playoff between the two at thePalestra inPhiladelphia to determine the Ivy League's NCAA automatic bid by a score of 53–51. Harvard thereby achieved its fourth straightNCAA tournament appearance while extending Yale's 53-yearNCAA tournament appearance drought.^[13] Harvard was eliminated from the2015 NCAA tournament byUNC by a score of 67–65 after leading with under one minute to play in the game.^[14]

Harvard stood at 10-4 in the Ivy league during the 2019-2020 season when the remainder of the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis.^[15] The entire 2020-2021 Ivy League men's basketball season was cancelled due to the continuing COVID-19 crisis.^[16]

At the conclusion of the 2021-2022 season, Amaker's record at Harvard stood at 264-152.^[17]

Financial aid and recruiting

[edit]

Another key to Harvard's recent success in basketball has been a 2006 change in the school's financial aid policy. Although the Ivy League strictly prohibitsathletic scholarships, Harvard has adopted an aid scheme that makes the school far more accessible to low- and middle-income students. Under current policy, all students (not just athletes) from families with annual incomes less than$180,000 pay at most 10% of family income, and those with family incomes under $60,000 receive full scholarships. According to Jay Hart ofYahoo! Sports,

With the financial barrier to entry lifted, an offer to play basketball at Harvard became instantly competitive with the rest of the world of collegiate athletics, where full-ride scholarships are (purportedly) the only currency.^[18]
