Longtime Princeton men’s basketball coach Pete Carril died Monday at the age of 92.

The Hall of Famer passed away at a hospital in Philadelphia. His grandson said the cause of death was complications from a stroke, according to the Washington Post.

“The Carril family is sad to report that Coach Peter J. Carril passed away peacefully this morning,” Carril’s family said in a statement released through Princeton. “We kindly ask that you please respect our privacy at this time as we process our loss and handle necessary arrangements.”

Carril coached at Princeton for 29 seasons, compiling a 514-261 record from 1967-96.

His Tigers won 13 Ivy League regular-season titles, earned 11 trips to the NCAA Tournament and won the 1975 National Invitation Tournament.

His final collegiate victory was 13th-seeded Princeton’s 43-41 upset of defending national champion and No. 4 seed UCLA at the 1996 NCAA Tournament.

Carril is the architect of the “Princeton offense,” a team-oriented strategy that emphasizes constant motion, backdoor cuts and picks on and off the ball.

He coached one season at his alma mater Lafayette before taking over at Princeton, going 11-12 in 1966-67.

Carril worked as an assistant coach with the NBA’s Sacramento Kings for a decade after leaving Princeton.

College basketball coaches paid tribute to Carril throughout the day in the wake of the news.

“Coach Carril was a basketball purist, the finest teacher of the game,” former Villanova coach Jay Wright wrote in a Twitter post. “Taught (Princeton basketball) and taught life. Never worried about being liked — but was always respected. Deepest Respect for Coach and condolences to the Carril family.”

Carril was inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997 and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.
