    Mitch Henderson is coming back to Princeton to replace former teammate Sydney Johnson as the Tigers' basketball coach.

    This will be the first head coaching job for Henderson, who spent the past 11 seasons as an assistant at Northwestern under Bill Carmody, another former Princeton coach.

    Henderson, who helped Princeton reach the NCAA tournament three times in the late 1990s, will take over a team that shared the Ivy League regular-season title and nearly upset Final Four-bound Kentucky in the first round of this year's tournament.

    The Tigers reached the tournament on a last-second basket by Douglas Davis in a one-game playoff with Harvard. Johnson left Princeton earlier this month to take the coaching job at Fairfield.
