South Orange, N.J. — Tommy Amaker has resigned as basketball coach at Seton Hall to rebuild the program at Michigan.
Amaker will replace Brian Ellerbe, who was fired two weeks ago after posting a 62-60 record in four seasons.
Leading candidates to succeed Amaker included Skip Prosser, who led Xavier to the NCAA Tournament this season. Seton Hall athletics director Jeff Fogelson was Prosser's boss at Xavier.
Amaker, 35, posted a 68-55 record in four seasons at Seton Hall. The former Duke player led the Pirates to four postseason appearances, the highlight being a surprising trip to the round of 16 in last year's NCAA tournament.
