Princeton held its 2007 Media Day on Tuesday afternoon. Coach Sydney Johnson and a broad cross-section of Tigers spoke to princetonbasketball.com about the upcoming season. These interviews are exclusive to our site. If you're interested in inside access like this all season long, please consider becoming a donor.
Photos from media day, including snapshots of many new Tigers are below.
In their first interview of the year, Princeton head coach Sydney Johnson and princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon sat down at Jadwin Gym to discuss the current state of Princeton basketball leading up to the Tigers' first two games of the season. This interview is 13:00+ in length. New interviews with Coach Johnson will be available every week during the 2007-08 basketball season.
Look for full coverage of Princeton's 2007 Media Day tomorrow on the site.
I'll be interviewing Princeton head coach Sydney Johnson in early November for the first in our series of weekly sit-down interviews during the 2007-08 basketball season. Donors are encouraged to send in questions you might want me to ask. Hopefully I'll be able to include some of your submissions.

We've finished up 2007-08 calendars for each of the "Carril Cradle" teams. You can download any or all of the following to sync with your computer/PDA. Each basketball schedule will be updated whenever a tip time changes or new TV information is revealed. These links will work best with iCal, so your mileage may vary.
I'm running the NYC Marathon on November 4th. In addition to proving to myself that my legs can take a pounding for 3+ hours I'm running the race in support of a foundation that was formed in the name of my friend Dave Nee. Dave was my roommate at Princeton, and a huge fan of our teams while I was playing there. He was one of the students who camped out at Jadwin for tickets before the 1998 NCAA tournament, made the Winnebago trips to all three of our NCAA tournaments sites in Indianapolis, Winston Salem, and Hartford, and was a stalwart in the student section at all of our home games.
In the summer of 2005, shortly before graduating from Fordham Law, Dave took his own life after a silent struggle with depression. His family and friends have created a foundation that aims to educate adolescents and their families about the disease of depression, and to provide options for the treatment of, and recovery from the disease.
We've created a website where people can go to make marathon pledges to the foundation on my behalf. There are per-mile options, per-minute options, t-shirts for sale, and a couple of meeting places if people are looking for a spot to watch the race.
We've already raised over $6,500, and with only a week and a half left before race day we'd like to get that number even higher. If there's a way you can help me spread the word about this fundraiser which is in support of a great Princeton basketball fan I'd appreciate it.
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.
