Carmody, class of 1975, led the Dutchmen to a three-year record of 59-11, including back-to-back 20-4 seasons during his junior and senior campaigns, while starting at point guard. In 1972-73, Carmody’s first year as a starter, he helped the Dutchmen win the first-ever Eastern College Upstate New York basketball championship and helped lead his 1974-75 squad to the program’s only other ECAC tournament title. He was awarded the William B. Jaffe Medal. While an assistant on Pete Carril's staff at Princeton, (starting in 1982), Carmody's teams made seven NCAA tourney trips and defeated defending NCAA champion UCLA in 1996. He took over as head coach in 1996-97 season and guided the Tigers to an overall record of 92-25 (.786) and an Ivy League mark of 50-6 (.893) during his four-year tenure. The 1997-98 27-2 team was ranked #10 in the nation. Carmody, who is one of four men to coach a team to a perfect Ivy League record and the the only coach to do so in his first year, took over at Northwestern prior to the 2000-01 season.
