The coaches of Ivy League basketball
SportsProf has posted what has to be the ultimate discussion of coaching in Ivy League basketball. Note the tremendous influence of Princeton and Penn coaches on the rest of the conference. This is not surprising, considering the results measured in league championships:
Men's Ivy League Basketball Champions (since league play began in 1956)
Princeton: 25 (1959-61, 1963-65, 1967-69, 1976-77, 1980-81, 1983-84, 1989-92, 1996-98, 2001-02, 2004)
Penn: 22 (1966, 1970-75, 1978-82, 1985, 1987, 1993-96, 1999-2000, 2002-03)

Brown: 1 (1986)
Columbia: 1 (1968)
Cornell: 1 (1988)

Penn: 7 (1970-71, 1993-95, 2000, 2003)
Princeton: 5 (1969, 1976, 1991, 1997-98)
