Editor’s Note: Our Toothless Tiger, George Clark, caught up with Princeton coach Mitch Henderson one-on-one at Jadwin Gym in late September for a comprehensive interview revealing what to expect from Princeton this season as the Tigers look to live up to their No. 1 Ivy preseason ranking. (Please excuse the technical difficulty separating Parts 1 and 2 – it’s presented intact because it demonstrates how gracious Henderson is and was in real time throughout the interview.)
Part 1
- how Henderson feels about the Ivy postseason tournament and Penn’s potential for participating as host
Part 2
- Henderson’s trust in former assistant and current Cornell head coach Brian Earl during games
- what Kerry Kittles’ role is as a new assistant for Princeton
- which Pete Carril quote from the 1991 Princeton media guide pertains to the 2016-17 Tigers
- why Hans Brase is “the edge”
- how Spencer Weisz has followed in T.J. Bray’s footsteps
- what to look for from Princeton’s freshman class
- what’s behind Princeton’s brutal nonconference schedule
