Pete Carril Profiled in Sacramento Newspaper
January 21, 2010 | Men's Basketball
Nick Miller of the Sacramento News & Review wrote a lengthy profile of Pete Carril, Princeton's head men's basketball coach from 1967-1996. Carril is in his second stint as an assistant coach for the Sacramento Kings, for whom his former player, Geoff Petrie '70, is the general manager.
Carril's teams made the postseason 13 times, including 11 NCAA Tournaments and two NIT bids, among them the 1975 NIT championship. In 1983, 1984 and 1996, Carril's teams won NCAA Tournament games, none more famous than the 1996 upset of defending champion UCLA.
Carril's legacy lives on in college basketball with Princeton's five alumni head coaches in NCAA Division I, all of whom played for Carril, including Craig Robinson '83, Joe Scott '87, John Thompson III '88, Chris Mooney '94 and Sydney Johnson '97.
