After a month-long search, Sydney Johnson's possible hire would make him one of the youngest head-coaching hires in program history and within today's Ivy League. At this point, one of the most intriguing things about Johnson is how little we know about him -- his coaching philosophy, his recruiting connections from Georgetown, his sideline personality. We'd really like readers to start a dialogue on Johnson's potential as a head coach and the future of the men's basketball team in general in the wake of last year's often-painful campaign. Please use our Comments feature at the bottom of this post. We at the Prince will throw in our thoughts and clarify details wherever we can.
For the full story on Johnson's potential hire, which we first reported Wednesday night, click here. We'll keep the details coming as we get them, both through Sideline Dispatches and in print the next couple of days. We're really looking forward to discussing Johnson with all the current players, as well as his teammates from his day as a Tiger star.

As a Brown alum who worked the phones next to Pete Carril (who kept spitting into a dixie cup he put next to me), my only recollection of Sydney Johnson was his throwing the basketball through the acoustic ceiling tile at the end of the game at Brown's Pizzitola gym (I think the '96-'97 season). To me, that instance showed a little of SJ's cocky attitude and a lot about how small Brown's gym is.
I knew Syd in school. Stand-up guy, unorthodox shot, outstanding defender, consummate leader. I'm sure he's picked up the X's and O's as an Assistant. Frankly, he cannot be worse than Joe Scott.
