Amaker not on the move

Penn basketball fans can uncross their fingers — Fox Sports is reporting that Harvard men's basketball coach Tommy Amaker will be staying with the Crimson.

Rumors started swirling over the weekend that Amaker might take the open head coaching position at Miami. Amaker reportedly met with officials from Miami yesterday. But Fox's Jeff Goodman tweeted this afternoon that the four-year Crimson coach would remain in Cambridge, though he was flattered by the Hurricanes' interest.

Amaker and the Crimson won a share of the Ivy title this season, their first in program history. Harvard returns the majority of its contributors and brings in highly-touted recruiting class.

UPDATE: here's a press release from Harvard Athletics.
