Ivy alums coaching at other Ivys

In light of the recent announcement of Brian Earl being named Cornell new men's basketball coach, I was having a conversation the other day with someone about Ivy alums coaching at other Ivy institutions, other than their alma mater. Brian Earl is the only coach I can think of who graduated from one Ivy and became head coach at another Ivy.
Can anyone name another example of this, if one exists? Could be at Cornell or any other Ivy institution.
Once again, the head coach must be an Ivy alum who became the head coach at an Ivy league school other than their alma mater.
- Steve Donahue and Al Bagnoli wouldn't count since neither graduated from an Ivy.
- Ben DeLuca wouldn't count since he is not a head coach.
Obviously plenty of alums have become head coaches at their own schools, or even at non-Ivy schools (Casey Jones, for example.) But not an Ivy alum becoming head coach at a rival Ivy.
Interested to know if anyone can think of other examples.

Off the top of my head:
Tim Taylor, longtime coach at Yale, was a Harvard grad.
Lou Reycroft, Brown alum, at Cornell.
Bob Gaudet, Dartmouth alum, at Brown.
I suspect there are a decent number. They know the environment and the "peculiar institution" of non-athletic (ahem) scholarships.
