Princeton Names Mitch Henderson New Basketball Coach

Princeton has named Mitch Henderson its next head men’s basketball coach.

Henderson, a 1998 Princeton alumnus, replaces Sydney Johnson, who recently led the Tigers to a share of the Ivy League championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers finished with a 25-7 mark this year and were 66-53 during Johnson’s four-year tenure. Johnson accepted the head coaching position at Fairfield earlier this month.
