PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) – Princeton has introduced Mitch Henderson as its coach, handing the reins of its basketball program to a former Tigers point guard who played in three NCAA tournaments under Pete Carril and Bill Carmody.
The 1998 Princeton graduate took over Thursday for former teammate Sydney Johnson, who left for Fairfield. Henderson inherits a team that was co-Ivy League champion and nearly stunned Kentucky in the first round of this year’s tournament.
Henderson says he is ready for his first head coaching job after spending 11 years at Northwestern as Carmody’s assistant.
He is the fourth straight alumnus hired to coach the Tigers.
