Players, fans, and alumni of the Harvard men’s basketball program gathered at the Harvard Club of Boston Friday evening to honor the 2009-2010 team—the most successful squad in school history.

The crowd was addressed by former Celtics great Satch Sanders, who coached the Crimson from 1973-1977.

The Crimson’s four seniors—Dan McGeary, Pat Magnarelli, Doug Miller, and Jeremy Lin—were specially recognized at the event, receiving framed uniforms for their years of service.

In a not-so-surprising decision, Lin became just the third player in Harvard history—along with Donald Flemming ’82 and Matt Stehle ’06—to take home the Raymond P. Lavietes ‘36 Most Valuable Player Award for three consecutive seasons.

Harvard coach Tommy Amaker praised Lin as “the best player to ever play at Harvard.”

Miller was honored with the Floyd S. Wilson Sportmanship Award while sophomore Oliver McNally earned the John Harnice ‘84 spirit award. Three freshmen took home trophies, as Christian Webster received the Henery Zimmerman Free Throw Award while Brandyn Curry and Kyle Casey shared the Hamilton Fish ’10 Most Improved Player Award.

Curry, who moved into the starting lineup in early February, went from averaging 5.3 points and 2.7 assists per game over the first 19 games to averaging 11 points and 4.2 assists per game over the final 10 contests.

Hoping to fully honor the recently passed season, the Crimson chose to postpone announcing next season’s captain or captains until the fall.
