About Mitch Henderson
Henderson returned to Princeton as the program's head coach on April 20, 2011 following 11 seasons as an assistant coach at Northwestern under his former coach at Princeton, Bill Carmody.
Under Henderson's tutelage, eight Princeton alumni have gone on to professional careers, and Tigers have competed in the NBA's Summer League and regularly earn workouts to showcase their skills for NBA teams when their college careers are complete.
In 2017, Henderson led the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament and a first-round near-upset of 14th-ranked and fifth-seeded Notre Dame, which just five days earlier played in the ACC Tournament final against Duke. The 2017 season saw Henderson win Ivy League Coach of the Year honors for the first time in the third year of the award.
Henderson was also selected in 2017 as the NABC District 13 Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year award.
While a player at Princeton, Henderson was perhaps most famous for his celebratory leap following the Tigers' 43-41 upset of UCLA in the first round of the 1996 NCAA Tournament, but that was only one of many moments of success during his collegiate career.
Henderson earned second-team All-Ivy League honors in 1998 and an All-Ivy honorable mention in 1997. He is eighth in career assists in school history with 304 and ninth in career steals with 142.
