Amir Bell joins the Big Green following a season with Stanford, where he served as the Assistant General Manager of the men's basketball team. During his time with the Cardinal, his key roles included player development, scouting and game preparation, as the team found success with a 20-win season and an appearance in the College Basketball Crown.

"Amir Bell holds a special place for me as my first recruit at Princeton, and I've had a front-row seat to the person, player, and now coach he's become. He's had tremendous success as an Ivy League student-athlete and as a professional player, and he's a rising star in our profession," MacConnell said.

Hailing from East Brunswick, N.J., Bell had a highly successful collegiate career at Princeton, alongside MacConnell. During his time with the Tigers, Bell helped his team to a 2017 Ivy League Championship title and earned Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year in the following season. He sits 35th on the Princeton career scoring list with 1,043 points and seventh in career assists with 313.

Professionally, Bell spent seven seasons on the court in Italy, Malaysia, Germany, Poland and Cyprus. In his career, he was named to the 2020 Asia-Basket.com All-ASEAN League second team, earned 2024 Polish League Defensive Player of the Year honors and was named to the 2025 Eurobasket.com Cypriot OPAP Basketball first team.

"Most importantly, Amir is a man of tremendous character. He cares deeply about student-athletes, understands what it takes to succeed at this level, and will be an incredible role model for the young men in our program." MacConnell said.
