Kareem Maddox is the Daily Princetonian's Male Athlete of the Year.
The Mets' Chris Young opted for shoulder surgery and his season is almost certainly done. ESPN New York writes about how Young's four starts and 24 innings pitched were actually statistically amazing.
Princeton coach Mitch Henderson was part of a group that rang the closing bell at the NASDAQ on Thursday. Here is video of the ceremony.
Armani Jeans Milano coach Dan Peterson checked in with his perspective on a 92-74 home victory over Vanoli Cremona. Peterson writes:
"The MVP was Mason Rocca, from my home town of Evanston, Illinois, with 14 points (7-10 shooting) and 9 rebounds. He played 29 minutes at the '4' position and we were +34 in those minutes on the plus-minus."
Milan's Jonas Maciulis suffered a serious knee injury during the game.
A 2004 graduate of the Air Force Academy, Jenkins played in 22 games his junior and senior years under Joe Scott and then-assistant coach Chris Mooney before working as a Logistics Readiness Officer at Malmstrom Air Force Base for three years.
"Marcus is an outstanding young coach who will be an asset to Coach Mitch Henderson and the tremendous tradition of Princeton Basketball," said Mooney. "He is extremely organized, hard working and loves basketball. He will relate very well to the players and will represent Princeton admirably."
The above YNN piece about Jim Boeheim's trip to Yankee Stadium on Wednesday shows an adjacent Mitch Henderson several times.
Henderson, fourth from the right wearing a white turtleneck, was standing between Hofstra coach Mo Cassara and Rutgers' Mike Rice during the pregame ceremony recognizing the work accomplished by Coaches vs. Cancer.
All 10 coaches present were introduced by the PA announcer and received a handshake from Yankees manager Joe Girardi before a group photo was taken.
Higher resolution video of the entire ceremony can be streamed here.
Sure, those headed to the Ivy League don't actually write their names on a National Letter of Intent, but that shouldn't stop each player's school from any pomp and circumstance they planned.
In a ceremony at Liberty High School on Monday, with admissions letters long since mailed out, Denton Koon made his selection of Princeton official.
Koon never wavered from his intention to play for the Tigers when Sydney Johnson left last month and a conversation with new coach Mitch Henderson the day Henderson was hired evaporated any anxiousness on Koon's part.
This is as good a time as any to run an email sent to me in late March from Liberty head coach Roger Stirtz updating everyone on his senior forward's progress since we first talked about Koon last August.
A 29th round selection in the 1994 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, Mitch Henderson will be on the field of the team that selected him this evening. The Yankees will recognize 10 collegiate coaches connected to Coaches vs. Cancer at home plate before New York and Kansas City play. Henderson is among those expected to attend the ceremony.
It is not a great shock what the Daily Princetonian has selected as their game of the year.
Craig Robinson will be part of a panel discussion on May 17th as part of a new film series at Oregon State.
A forward from southern Indiana will play for the defending Division II national champion over interest from Penn and Princeton.
Former Tiger Bill Kingston has become the the winningest high school tennis coach in history. In 38 years, his teams have an incredible 957-171 record.
The piece was an interesting one that compared the Points Per Possession of 30 major conference coaches minus the Points Per Possession of their opponents.
Inspired by what I was looking at, I've set up a similar table including every Princeton team from 1996-97 through 2010-11. Instead of using Points Per Possession, I'm working with Offensive Efficiency, which is Points Per Possession multiplied by 100. It was easier to get accurate data this way. For those more comfortable with Points Per Possession, just slide each decimal point two spaces to the left while you're reading!
Breaks between years should make it easier to visualize these numbers by head coach.
Georgetown's Hollis Thompson and Northwestern's John Shurna both pulled their names out of the NBA Draft before the deadline and will return to their respective schools for the 2011-12 season.
Here's your first bit of non-conference confirmation for the 2011-12 schedule: Princeton will play a return game at Siena. From what I hear, several of the Tigers' opponents from last season will reappear come November and December.
One web site argues it is time to send Will Venable down to the minors. Venable is hitting .191 in 94 at bats.
princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers, Fairfield Stags and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world. This site is not directly affiliated with the Friends of Princeton Basketball, Princeton University or the Princeton athletic department.
