Amaker just after clinching Harvard's first Ivy League title with the 2010–11 Harvard Crimson

Tommy Amaker (born 1965) is the head coach of the Harvard Crimson men's basketball team, playing in the American NCAA Division I. As point guard for Duke under Mike Krzyzewski, he was an All-American player, earning the first NABC Defensive Player of the Year award. He was a Duke assistant coach for nine seasons (including for the 1990–91 and 1991–92 National Champion teams). He coached Seton Hall to postseason tournaments in each of his four seasons there, and won the 2004 National Invitation Tournament coaching the Michigan Wolverines. As Harvard men's basketball coach, Amaker was the first coach to lead the Crimson to victory over a ranked opponent. The 2010–11 team became the first Harvard team to earn a share of the Ivy League championship, and the 2011–12 team became the first to appear in the Associated Press and Coaches Polls. Amaker's 2011–12, 2012–13, 2013–14 and 2014–15 teams repeated as Ivy League champions. The 2012–13 team gave Harvard its first NCAA tournament victory, and the 2013–14 team posted a record 27 wins.
