Mitchell Gordon Henderson (born August 14, 1975) is an American college basketball coach, currently serving as head coach for the Princeton Tigers men's basketball team. Before taking the Princeton job in 2011, he served as an assistant for the Northwestern Wildcats men's basketball team for 11 seasons under Bill Carmody. He had been a member of three consecutive Ivy League champion Princeton teams as a player (two of which went undefeated in conference, the first tying the school record with 19 consecutive wins and the second achieving 20). He was a co-captain of the second of these undefeated league champions along with Steve Goodrich.
Born in Vincennes, Indiana, Henderson later lived in Lexington, Kentucky as a teenager and attended Culver Military Academy in the northwestern Indiana town of Culver for high school. Henderson was a twelve-time varsity letter winner at Culver in football, basketball and baseball. In 1994, he was drafted by the New York Yankees with the 24th pick of the 29th round, 815th overall in the 1994 Major League Baseball draft. In baseball, he was a pitcher. He was named the 1994 South Bend Tribune high school Male Athlete of the Year. He did not sign with the Yankees and retained his amateur status although he chose to pursue basketball rather than baseball in college.
