In response to section110
The article seemed to me to have a slightly self congratulatory tone. I suppose this should not be surprising since it is written to be read by harvard alumni/ae. I would take issue with the claim that James Brown's basketball class was the second most highly rated nationally for its year. Penn and Princeton dominated that era and, as previously noted, Harvard never won a title until many years later after Amaker arrived. As for Implying that Amaker was somehow unique as a black bball coach in the Ivies, Tiger alumnus JT III preceded him at Princeton and, I believe there may have been others before him elsewhere in the Ivies.
