Sydney Johnson is the head men's basketball coach at Princeton University. The youngest coach in the Ivy League, he played for Princeton from 1993 to 1997, and was later an assistant coach for John Thompson III at Georgetown University. [Rachel Orland, "Johnson '97 comes home," "The Daily Princetonian" April 23, 2007; [http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2007/04/23/sports/18198.shtml online version] .] Johnson's demeanor as a coach is said by players to be more benevolent than his predecessor, Joe Scott, who left for the University of Denver after compiling a losing record in three years at Princeton.
