List of Ivy League Coach of the Year winners

The Ivy League has awarded Ivy League Men’s Basketball Coach of the Year honors every season since 2014-15. The league itself is considerably older than the award, established in its current form in 1954. Prior to then, the same eight schools competed against each other under various formal and informal names dating back to the late 1870’s. James Jones from Yale has won or shared the award five times. Starting with the 2024-25 season, the award is presented to the entire coaching staff rather than just the head coach. Parenthesis indicate number of awards for that coach or school.
