Hartsuff became the University of Michigan's men's rowing team head coach in 1993. He oversaw the Freshman 8 take silver at IRA's in 2002, which is currently the best eights finish by a club team at the varsity national championships. In 2004, he coached the Varsity 4 to the bronze medal at IRA's. Since the formation of the ACRA National Championships, of which Hartsuff is president, Michigan has taken six consecutive ACRA Men's Team Point Trophies from 2008-2014. In 2008 Hartsuff coached the Men's Varsity 8 at University of Michigan to the Inaugural American Collegiate Rowing Association National Championship, which was the first in string of three consecutive titles. The 2011 ACRA Championships was the first year where Michigan's First Eight did not win, placing second to University of Virginia. At the 2012 ACRA Championships Michigan yet again failed to win the Varsity 8, despite having mostly senior oarsmen who had spent time in the eight since sophomore year. Yet in 2013 and 2014 the Varsity 8 placed first with Virginia placing second.
