June 24, 2009 | Men's Basketball
PRINCETON -- Mike Brennan '94 has reunited with John Thompson III '88 on the men's basketball coaching staff at Georgetown.
Brennan coached at Princeton for the entirety of Thompson's stint as head coach from 2000-04 and stayed on for Joe Scott's tenure from 2004-07. He spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach at American University, also in Washington, D.C.
Brennan was a part of five Ivy League championship teams at Princeton, including two as a player (1991, 1992) and three as Thompson's assistant (2001, 2002, 2004). Brennan replaces a former colleague, Robert Burke, who was also on Thompson's staff at Princeton.
Brennan is one of four Princeton men's basketball alumni who hold NCAA assistant coaching positions, along with Brian Earl '99 and Scott Greenman '06 at Princeton and Mitch Henderson '98 at Northwestern. Five men's basketball alumni, tied for the most in the country in 2008-09, are head coaches, including Thompson, his former assistant Sydney Johnson '97 at Princeton, Scott '87 at Denver, Craig Robinson '83 at Oregon State and Chris Mooney '94 at Richmond.
